Just today I was discussing the latest version of Gnome with Matt, saying that it has come a long way from the 1.x days. And that, most importantly, it is no longer horribly ugly out of the box. As of 2.16, I actually really like the default look. With a little help from gnome-look, it can be a rather attractive desktop indeed.

But then tonight I come across this post (Why is Gnome So Ugly?):

Ok, so Gnome 2.16 came out a while ago. There are lots of new features. Yay for the foot.

Now I bet Apple fanboys are screaming right now. I don’t blame them. For the rest of you who don’t know why people would be screaming, its fairly simple. Default Gnome is ass-ugly. Thank God the Ubuntu folks made their own theme, otherwise no one would be using Gnome at all. I’ll swear by that.

Heh. Oh well… de gustibus non est disputandum.
