I believe you're both right.

Yes, Quartz rules the Mac -- on OS X.  Remember, Rev still saddles 
themselves with support for Classic, which has them using older APIs.

I look forward to the day they can safely abandon Classic, and given 
enough time they could probably fork the internal code to use different 
APIs for each.

But in the meantime, it's my limited understanding that there are a few 
remnant dependencies on the old APIs.
