As the artist working on Etoile, I totally agree with you. We're not there yet. There are a lot of issues I'd love to see resolved: the font issue is a major one for me (I have someone working on a new system font as I type this), and the lack of polish on the widgets and titlebars requires changes to happen in GNUstep proper in order for Etoile to take advantage of them. I'm in a discussion with the maintainer of GNUstep about that right now too. The About screen is ugly--point taken--and I need to fix that. I consider ugly UI elements bugs, and by all means, feel free to file bug reports against them. If I can do something about them, I will. This is one of the recent mockups I've been working on to try to target towards for our 0.3 release -- again, don't expect OS X, but hopefully it gives you some hope that we're not clueless, and that we actually do care about the UI.

On the project, we've long said that comparing ourselves to Apple and OS X would only lead people to disappointment. We don't have the resources of Apple -- there is no way we could ever compete. All we hope to do is provide something different, something that we who work on the project would enjoy using. Getting more people contributing would make that happen faster.

Would you like to help Jesse Ross develop the new theme for GNUstep? He's an artist but some usability experience could be helpful. Since GNUstep themes actually replace the GUI code through bundles, functional changes like these can be made.
