Maybe I'm kind of strange (I switch any Windows box I use back to W2k
Look & Feel) but neither Gimp nor Eclipse nor Netbeans looks
particularly ugly to me on Windows. The XP standard teletubby GUI
surely does however. My favorite are the gimmicks you get when you buy
a camera or scanner. Everyone tries to invent a whole new guy paradigm
with every single app. Totally useless crap. What a relief is Linux
where you have one GUI (xsane) for any scanner you connect.
