I, like oflittlebrain, am kinda of two minds about this. Because it sucks that Hollywood won't just take the goddamn plunge, unless the movie is specifically about gayness. But I agree with you also, because I really like how it was done. I just, I dunno, I really found a lot of joy in their intimacy. It takes a certain level of complete comfort to be able to just lie down together on a train car floor, barely dressed, without addressing it or having any anxiety about it at all. And I, too, really like that it's not played for laughs. They're just really comfortable with each other.
The thing is, if Holmes had been a woman, just about nobody would be questioning that it was an explicit love triangle story. The lying down half-naked, the closeness, the dancing...it would be heteronormative movie short-hand for heterosexual romance. But when it's two guys, it's assumed to be just close non-sexual homosocial intimacy unless it's explicitly spelled out as gay.

I'm pleased as long as Hollywood doesn't dust off its hands and say "look how far we've come" without striving to go any further.
