Hi Embar, The Tango theme is the most complete icon theme and it's most in line with OS defaults (Mac OS, Windows, most GTK-based desktops). Tango's goal is to provide a consistent icon look across various platforms, while Oxygen is specifically designed for KDE and often feels out-of-place on other platforms, which is why it's preferable to keep it default only on KDE.
It's true our current icons look outdated. That's not a fault of the Tango specifications -- Gnome and elementary have been able to produce beautiful modern icons based on those specs. We were planning to update our icons as well based on Gnome's icon set, but, unfortunately, the volunteer who lead the project doesn't have time for it anymore. The project is at https://github.com/libodesign/tango-testing. If you'd be interested in picking it up, that'd be great. There's also an effort to produce a flat monochrome icon set, which is lead by Issa Alkurtass: https://github.com/libodesign/flat-icons. That one's being actively worked on, but it has a long way to go before it has all the icons that the Gnome icon theme has.
