The color and contrast is way better than any matte screen I've seen. Reflections are not a big problem for me, but of course this depends on your computer setup and where your windows are located etc.
The annoying thing is that it's nearly impossible to find a glossy screen on the market.
Different strokes for different folks, but I find it funny that you think your preference is the one the market is ignoring lately. Every display Apple makes is glossy only, as is nearly every TV these days. I really wish I could get a matte rMBP and a matte 60" HDTV, but they just don't make them anymore...
I don't see how you can reach that conclusion. I want to buy a glossy monitor, not a glossy television screen. The only well known option is a monitor manufactured by Apple, but they're really expensive compared to typical quality matte screens. It's really hard to find even a single alternative. I found a single HP monitor which maybe has a glossy screen, but they don't state that clearly.
