I installed 10.13.3 yesterday, and now I can't open Preview, TextEdit, Mail, and now the App Store. I can't even check to see if there is a fix. Safari works OK. I am using a new MacBook Pro 15".

Same thing here, seems to me it somehow messed up the iCloud connection. Still trying to find out what is going on...
Try downloading the 10.13.3. combo updater and running. It might be voodoo but reinstalling from the combo updater has worked in the past.

Mine renders as well as it always has. Something is going on with your machine, maybe.
I have spent many, many hours trying to fix this, I gave up and downgraded the system to Sierra.
That's just weird. I assume your downgrade fixed it. But I bet the problem was specific to your machine. Perhaps running a combo updater would have fixed it. There is no way to know what the problem was.
I'm not seeing any problems with 10.13.3, but I did a clean install of High Sierra on my rMBP (late 2013). I put 10.13.2 on a test drive a few weeks ago just to see if there would be any problems, then updated it when 10.13.3 came out. After seeing no problems, I cloned the clean install to my main drive but I still have back up drives with both Sierra and High Sierra. Seems to me to be the safest way to go with a new OS because you can always easily get back to what works. I do some video editing and a clean install seems to be the way to prevent the problems some people are having.

Can you load a PDF Document on High Sierra and check if is being render crystal clear?
I don't think is my MacBook Pro, because on Sierra the PDFs are crystal clear. Well... It is what it is!
thanks!
did you by any chance try the combo update? anyway, just wondering what it is, but at least, for now, you're in business..
PDFs and everything else are working just fine. When I first saw this post, I checked all - Preview, Text Edit, and Mail. Absolutely no problems.

So how's 10.3.3 performing as compared to 10.3.2 or .1 or 10.12.6?
My guess would be...No perceptible improvements outside of what, some more creepy looking emojis?
