“It’s a box of swithes. If it offends your delicate aesthetic sensibilities to look at it, buy somehting else.”
All computers are boxes of switches. We are discussing the merits of some new switches. People look at those switches often, so aestetics are part of the equation. This just happens to be an ugly box of switches. (I’m guessing it will be easy to customize and this is no big deal.)
Why are you personnally offended and behaving rudely over criticism of the appearance of an OS desktop? Were you on the design team?
Because (as you correctly guessed) it's easily customizable, and therefore "no big deal", and over nothing but superficial cosmetics. It's a box of switches. The important part is the switches, and the discussion is going to revolve around whether or not the box is pretty?
