If your personal preferences differ from those who put together the default gui appearance, select a different skin or color scheme. Yes twm's green on white default appearance may turn you off, but obviously someone liked it or it wouldn't be that way. Or do you think the guy who picked it was too dim to chose colors he liked?
Maybe what turns you off about fvwm95 or twm is lack of skinability, procedural title bars and buttons, etc. These features certainly make a GUI more attractive. Well, as the names imply, twm is minimalist and fvwm95 replicates windows 95. They clearly indicate other considerations override cuteness: twm is TINY, fvwm95 emulates a shitty UI.
Lumping these interfaces in with KDE and Gnome is disingenuous. Just because they are all open source doesn't mean you should assert that downfalls of twm exist in KDE any more than you should assert XP is shitty because windows 1.1 sucked.
I bet KDE could appeal to you very much. Simply download the aqua skin. You happen to dislike the default appearance but a facility is provided to satisfy those who do: skinability.
I personally despise aqua. If apple followed your advice and actually focused on their particular corporate aesthetic and not general customizability, OSX would permanently be saddled with what seems to me an unattractive appearance.
No, but the burglar had a right to privacy that could not be violated without due process when he was talking on the phone coordinating the crime. And coordinating a crime is a crime. Why should unencrypted information on the campus network be different than unencrypted information on the campus phone system?
I'm sure the NSA could greatly enhance national security if privacy guards on the phone system were dropped. Do you think violating rights for hollywood's sake is more important than for national security?

That would be "We need to respect and uphold licensing agreements." Grow a brain or I'll enforce your face with a cluebat.
