3D in the UI may be dangerous (see e.g. the latest OSX incarnation for
good (coverflow, timemachine) and bad use of it (the dock)).
But IMHO bringing a "little" 3D doesn't mean anything, Maybe I'm
biased because I'm used to OpenGL stuff, but I think it's more
liberating for a programmer to assert that everything is now in a 3D
space with a 3D look (even if it's flat for most).
