Yeah, the .view suffix always seemed strange to me. Not sure why it's even there at all. I didn't consciously decide not to use it either; I just am using a fork of an unmaintained Subsonic API client library and it didn't use .view.
Even weirder is if you look at the official documentation it looks like the endpoints don't have a .view suffix at all, and it's only in some example requests that you even see any reference to a .view suffix. E.g. looking at http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp#getPlaylists you'd have no idea that
/rest/getPlaylists.view
was even an endpoint.
