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.
I don't admit it. And I don't like the Windows "aesthetic." I do find it
a bit amusing that Windows' users simultaneously claim that 1) Linux
copies the Windows desktop and 2) It has a dated interface.
Both are true, 1) Linux indeed copies features and aesthetics of both
Windows and Mac OS but 2) does a very poor job of getting it right, in my
cases. The lack of consistency is very noticeable, and you'll have
something like the default desktop of Ubuntu which looks incredible...
until you open up a program which doesn't fit with the overall look at all.
Actually Linux has a LOT of interfaces. Windows only has one, and it's>
"dated" and ugly in my opinion.
I like the look myself, but find that it quickly gets boring. In fact,
that's probably why I like installing Linux and trying something else out
all the time.
