If skinning is good enough for Microsoft itself, then it must be good enough for many other ISV's too. After all, they are just following Microsoft's example. But to get back to reality... Embarcadero is not to blame for the Metro skinning design, vs native Metro design. If you read the Embarcadero newsgroups, you would have seen that a top Embarcadero employee answered that question... With numerous attempts from Embarcadero, Microsoft kept stonewalling them and made it impossible for them to support native Metro. Skinning was their only alternative.
Well, based on Microsoft's own track record, Metro is the flavour of the month. Next month might be something else. It's easier to simply adapt your skinning code, than to redevelop your whole app for the next flavour of the month.
