I totally agree, that the color scheme is hideous.
So when I upgraded to ubuntu dapper for my parents back home, I made an effort to set up a better color scheme.
To my surprise, when they began using the computer, they were disappointed that it didn't come with the ubuntu color scheme they love so much. And no, they have had other os'es and distros setup in their computer Win2k,XP,Mandrake,Debian.
So, maybe it just boils down to people's preferences.
Same here.
For me it's more of a feeling that everything has a function, or that every glyph or image is clickable.
(or in the case of Opera an AD, although it was removed
in newer versions i still have that fear of clicking on ADs)
This leads me to be very uncomfortable when clicking around, especially dragging windows. Probably not enough visual cues for what is and what is not clickable. It's just that kind of feeling.
But on the other hand, KDE still does it for me. The icons aren't too big. (A 1024x768 screen in Gnome has has as much useful real estate as a 640x480 KDE screen. Even windows apps make better use of real estate.) Yeah, it's kind of a Windowsy philosophy on screen real estate, but i think everyone needs all the screen real-estate they can get.
I guess the only thing going for GNOME for me i guess is Ubuntu. I'm a KDE fanboy, but I still think Ubuntu on GNOME rocks.
But it'd be nice to have the Waking Life http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243017/ footages re-done using this, and then we can compare. I bet it'd become boring before it reaches a thousand frames.

If only they would implement Mplayer's keyboard controls and OSD, it would be the perfect windows media player. On Linux though, that's another story.

That's what I use the command line for.
In windows I always make sure all apps are directly runnable from the command line. And as for linux, well that's the default.
It eliminates the need to hunt for icons.

I was hoping for near cel-shading quality.

So now, not only are we descended from monkeys, but rather crazy ones?
Talk about survival of the fittest!
Wait till my local preacher hears about this!
I usually use the bathroom for that sort of stuff.
These two games introduced me to computer programming.
