I think that reducing the "interface prejudice" is an interesting question. Changing the theme to use more gradients, transparency, shadows and stuff is very easy; we literally use the same toolkit that powers GNOME's interface. The real question would be if we can test this feature; if anybody would be willing to do some usability testing in comparison of both.

I actually think that some features contribute to the interface issue. For example, we only allow 1 activity on the screen at the time. Maybe if we add the ability to split the screen vertically, we could appear more mature. It would also probably be useful for many users. I might draw up a design, unless somebody beats me to it.

Thanks,
Sam

Nice! Do you think any of these ideas should go on the sugar roadmap? :)
