Actually Gnome has been attractive and simple for some time. It's just a bit boring, and lacks secondary usability of OS X, like Exposé, etc.
Man, anyone boot into OS 9 recently, and see the fugly P.O.S. that is iTunes? Or Quicktime 4? Man those apps were savagely beaten with the ugly stick. Talk about change for change's sake.
Hopefully brushed metal is gone forever. Whoever thought that one up should be flogged.
Look how sharp that video chat is! Who gets video chat that sharp, I mean come on I don't even think that the iSight can create picture quality that good.

Well the background is fake I think, just the girl is actually in the chat. Steve demoed that feature at WWDC, I think.

agreed, iTunes and Aperture are dark and gloomy, like there's no future.
Aqua has developed nicely since 2001. The pin stripes of 10.1 and Jaguar were ok initially but became too much. The clean aqua of Tiger with blue highlights is very stylish.

and the brushed metal of Safari is enough to get me using Firefox and Camino.
I prefer my web browser to be fast and have proper text handling.
Camino handles Text just as well as Safari, and it's faster (by the milliseconds) and handles my Gmail account better then Safari (though I hardly go into Gmail itself, Mail handles that) and every other Google Service I use such as GD&S and Google Notebook.

I don't know about Camino's text, but Camino still uses the Firefox engine, which runs at an entire tenth of the speed of Safari.

But I think comparing GNOME to Aqua is not even a comparison.
At the very least let's just put an end to brushed metal for good. It looks awful.
I will.
I will.
If it is in your power to kill brushed metal for eternity, please do it immediately.

Now look at this;
It happend to iTunes, it's going to happen to the Finder, Calculator, Safari etc.

He's right. An iChat window that is not currently selected used to look like this:
Now look at the iChat window in this Leopard picture, the brushed metal tint is gone:

I find the dark colors to be ugly and depressing.

Heh, Firefox and Camino are both better browsers anyways. But if you want to kill Brushed Metal use this

Yep, Camino is the better browser.

oh, that's nice. That freshens up Safari alright.
I nearly installed UNO 6 months ago but decided against it. wish I had. thanks.

That's not a made up statistic.
Only Internet Explorer is slower than Firefox. Safari and Opera smoke it.

The only thing they share is the Gecko Rendering Engine and Mozilla's name.
The reason Firefox is slower then Safari is because Firefox uses a custom API for Cross Platform support called XULrunner, and Camino uses Cocoa.
