Can you please explain why transparency makes sense to you?

Maybe I won't like it in practice, but they sold me on "providing context."

You can barely see anything through that. Watch the parts where hes scrolling through photos, it's just a massive blur.

Olde' Vista Aero did this better.

Aero Glass showed exactly why UI translucency isn't a good idea. It made every single window title bar noisy and hard to read.

At least iOS 7 cranks up the blur radius.
