"Functional BUT utilitarian" ? You mean "Functional AND utilitarian" because for me these both are very welcome features.

  The conjunction here is purely to taste, since utilitarian implies functional, as well as not particularly attractive; both are correct (as would just 'utilitarian', since it's not a loss of information, implying as it does the functional aspect).

    I read that comment less literally and more like “they just about work for their function, but damn they ugly” :-)

      Sure, but do you interpret "functional and utilitarian" as meaning anything different? Utilitarian tends to imply functional + ugly.
