While I see your point, and mostly agree with it, I can understand that some people who spend a lot of time at their conputer may be of the opinion that it may as well be a nice environment to look at, right? Why do people decorate their houses?
I have a highly bizarre-looking KDE1/E combo on my laptop (to make people wonder what it is when I'm on a train, heh heh!) but a nice fresh-looking KDE2 style for my main work box, which makes a nice balance between eye candy and functional. Works for me...
As for spare CPU cycles, I thought everyone was running seti@home these days.. ;)
