My opinion on Apple's use is mixed. In cases like the OS X lock screen, the use is great. It signifies an inability to continue until the device is unlocked while hinting at the content underneath.

Other uses are gratuitous and often the blurring and blending of colors creates weird sensations where what is underneath a window seems more important. I can see something is there, but can't make out the details, make me anxious that I'm missing something happening in the window.

The "Folder" metaphor is something I've been considering a lot lately. It seems so ingrained in modern computing.

Apple has started to move away from it tags and "All my Files."

I struggle to think of a better way to solve organizing and collecting items than into nested groups.

The language is layered on top of Javascript and is completely optional.
