Isn't Rasterman making/was making a complete desktop environment using 
this super-fast low-level graphics library of his which could piggyback on 
top of hardware OpenGL to do those transparencies and stuff in hardware?

nonetheless I still think the MacOS Quartz graphics engine is the way to 
go.  :)  Nothing major/original there -- Sun OpenWindows has had Display 
PostScript (vs PDF for Quartz) for nearly 20 years. But it's a new way of 
doing graphics on UNIX and Apple has done a good job of pushing it to the 
masses.
