I don't have to look at a chainsaw for 8 hours a day, either.

  Foresters do and they would really be insulted if you made their main tool set look 'pretty' just for the sake of it. It's a tool, it needs to be reliable, powerful, easy to service and safe. There are lots of chainsaws that look prettier than Husqvarna's and Stihl and yet those are the ones that most professionals will use.

    They don't look at their chainsaws all day, they look at the trees they are chopping down. I don't look at the keyboard I'm typing on all day, I look at the editor/code.

      So if the trees aren't pretty the foresters would bitch? Really, you are putting way too much effort into this argument. I learned how to program on 40x25 and consider what I have today an incredible luxury, if you want you can customize Leo to look better but to me it isn't worth the time, I would rather spend that time on my work.

      Conversely, if you're using a text editor all day you'll spend much more time looking at the text you are editing than the UI. Also, if you ever actually use a chainsaw, please do look at it as you are using it.
