Respectfully, I disagree. Having a shiny AND functional tool (no smut here, I'm British) is perfectly possible, and wanting to use one doesn't make you a magpie. It's snobbery -- you might say 'inverted' snobbery -- to suggest so. "Shiny" isn't necessarily "improved" but they're not mutually exclusive. Would you suggest Frescobaldi is *not* a big improvement in the User Interface for Lilypond development?
