I suspect this change being a side effect of using the OS X 10.8 Notification Center. As much as I appreciate the adoption of native APIs I really hate that I, as a legacy user who doesn't want to switch, am left behind. The special problem I'm encountering here is that I use two displays and set up my Growl notification to pop up on the top-right corner of my left screen so that it is (approximately) in the middle and will be noticed while working on either of the screens. The new notification system not only uses its own theme and breaks my consistency but defaults to the top-right corner of the primary display--where I hardly look and notice it. I don't actually use this feature but some might use Growl/Prowl to push the desktop notifications to their handheld devices; again a useful feature lost. Additionally you had to make u<br>

I think to keep Growl support is a reasonable choice as I suspect the share of Snow Leopard and Lion users without Notification Center being not too small and considering that an extra fallback was included. I know this is kind of a <a href="https://xkcd.com/1172/">https://xkcd.com/1172/</a> but I'd really love to at least hear a reason for this choice and I am interested wether I'm alone with my concerns or not.<br>
