The Xcode docs in OS X 10.6, show all of QuickDraw(QD) as “obsolete”. While this is technically not deprecated, the message is clear from Apple: “Don’t use QuickDraw”.  Neither an “obsolete” or “deprecated” label makes me feel sanguine about QD’s future. So far, I haven’t found any loss of functionality moving to CG, so it seems like a no brainer to me. This message has been clear from Apple for years now.
