Linux has improved a lot though. When I first started using Linux (about 5 years ago I think, when I was still in JC), it looks worse than XP. Now it looks reasonable given enough tweaking. I'm getting used to my work's Gnome as well (though personally likes XFCE better). There are not enough force being applied to move Linux quickly in term of UI designs (and it's hard to have one given the nature of open source; as long as not enough programmers care about UI, there won't be sufficient force to move that way). Steve Jobs is a ruthless man when it comes to UI, and he can do that since it's a top-down company. Disclaimer: I can't design well; so while I do want to see Linux with better UI, I won't be of much help. I rely on interaction designer to do the design.
