I don't have a problem with this. I think it's great to imagine and mock up improvements to an app. But at the same time I don't have anything good to say about the result either. The fact that something looks "early 2000s" is so far down the list of my priorities for an IM app that it's effectively a non-issue. I think a lot of the sentiment here is simply that the important issues aren't really being addressed, and implementing a radical change like this is likely to raise a whole slew of new ones.
