What do you mean?

Besides, it is wrong. If you create a font editor you want 
accuracy. If you create an image editor you want accuracy. If you 
create a proofing application you want accuracy. If you create a 
PDF application you want accuracy.

When designing a game, you can adapt your game design to the 
provided engine.
Or you can design an engine to fit a type of game design.

When creating a user interface framework you should work with 
everything from sound editors, oscilloscopes, image editors, 
vector editors, CAD programs, spreadsheets etc.

You cannot really assume much about anything. What you want is 
max flexibility.

Most GUI frameworks fail at this, so you have to do all yourself 
if you want anything with descent quality, but that is not how it 
should be.

Apple's libraries provides options for higher accuracy. This is 
good. This is what you want. You don't want to roll your own all 
the time because the underlying framework is just "barely 
passing" in terms of quality.
