They're cloned everywhere; I'm seeing them on web sites now too. The translation issue and the "Wait, is that the current state or the new one?!" problems are serious. This thing takes a lot of screen real estate for a single bit of information (and it still requires some kind of label to explain it). The physical usage mechanic (a tap) doesn't match the animation (it slides!). Ugh. Seriously, what was wrong with the checkbox? I'm hoping there's some magic a UX expert can explain that makes this all worthwhile.
