I was just speaking to a friend of mine about this tonight. We
concluded that its important for an application to "look pretty", as
it gives the often uninformed end user a false sense of security about
the program. I think it partly accounts for why MS software does so
well; not only are the products useful but they "appear" to be
"professionaL" with slick graphic interfaces. The visual presentation
of a piece of software seems to go a long way toward deciding its
longevity. I myself am victim to this... I still use MS Outlook rather
than other not-so-buggy free equivelent email clients because I like
the the layout and the look of its interface.
