The documentation for implementing vibrancy in our own views is incomplete, 
inconsistent and hard to follow, anyway, and the sample code from WWDC 2014 is 
confusing and no longer works right on the final release of Yosemite. I spent 
way too much time trying to make vibrancy work on a relatively complex custom 
view, and there are still a couple of aspects of it that I can't make work 
right.

But I disagree that vibrancy should be avoided. The few views that were 
semitransparent in Mavericks and earlier were worse, because I could make out 
the words showing through the view -- just enough to tempt me to read them. The 
application switcher (Command-Tab) comes to mind. Now, with vibrancy, there is 
no longer any temptation to try to read them.
