The "Surface Reaction" responsive interaction pattern just seems superfluous and distracting. I care that the button I hit was hit, not where I hit it.
Very similar to how in Windows7 the task bar follows your cursor with a glowing highlight - which I found very distracting and useless (not unlike the OSX dock magnify-on-mouseover). At least in Windows and OSX I can turn that off - since these are guidelines for new apps, I don't think Android users are going to be given those options.
