I think the most common complaint of people using Linux CLI or GUI
tools is that they look dated.
Are they taking Microsoft, of all people, as arbiters of good taste?
There are definitely more people out there who are fans of the
Microsoft aesthetics than there are people who appreciate the dated
interfaces of open-source software. All of them will admit that the
"ugly" software still does the job, but it appears that the way a
program looks is as important as whether it completes the task.
Are these the same people who think the Microsoft Office “Ribbon” is a
good idea? Remember, that originated in the days before modern
widescreen monitors became popular. Given that most text documents we
create are still in portrait orientation, the LibreOffice “Sidebar”
makes better use of screen space.
