Sayle: This is another fine line that seems to have been crossed between BW and SC2. On one hand, I think that the plain BW spectator interface (no obs mode) is slightly lacking, but on the other hand the mass of information in SC2 makes the commentators seem a bit redundant. I may be biased since it's what I use, but I think the obs mode plugin for BW actually makes the best viewing experience. You can see all the upgrades/production when the observer clicks on a building, but you can still get surprised when the observer goes to the terran base and suddenly there's 6 starports making battlecruisers. Essentially, you're given full information limited by what the observer is looking at, which allows the observer to be like the storyteller for the game. As an analogy, spectating BW with obs mode is like reading a first-person narrative. You know and see everything that the main character does, and you're surprised when the main character is. Spectating SC2 is like reading a book with an omniscient narrator. You know literally everything, so it makes things a bit less exciting. Watching BW with no obs mode is like reading a book with some pages missing. It's exciting but you do miss some things and the results might seem unexpected/random.
