The Core bits are nice, but they're basically an extension of what started with Quartz Extreme and the average user will never even know the difference. . .

Maybe I can get educated here. It was my impression that core services, such as core image, were intended for developer's convenience. By using core services their work is simplified. The operating system figures out the best way to perform an operation depending on the hardware that is running it. If the hardware has a great graphics card it is used. No need for the software developer to get involved with these details nor write extra code for it.
Okay, that has been my understanding up until now. What don't I understand about this?
