It successfully emulates the environment it is supposed to emulate
(CDE). In other words it is extremely ugly. Somehow they managed to make
it look darn ugly even if it uses gtk. The default theme is absolutely
horrible. Even so I don't think the looks is the main concern, but
rather the functionality. It is a great environment for people migrating
from CDE, and it is better than CDE im my opinion. That doesn't mean
that it's great however. As it's emulating CDE, the functionality is
similarily limited to that of CDE, with exceptions. And oh, it uses
little resources, but not as little as blackbox. Could be a little nicer
on the eye however, if someone managed to make a new set of default
themes. Coders are rarely good graphic artists, with some exceptions :)

Anyway, I am just ranting... which I allways seem to do.
