Some time around 09/04/2004 12:07:27, I think I heard Allie Martin say:

Allie:
I believe you are missing the point. Its not that it is such a large
programming effort to change the UI of the application and that those efforts could be
diverted to debugging the application. The point is that focusing on the UI, however
minor the modifications introduced, while there is a horde of outstanding, well
documented bugs, shows an attitude that some of us think is very wrong; a lack of
interest in prioritizing what should be most important.
This is what Tony, me and many others complain about. Its not the icons --
and discussing whether having new and pretty icons is a good idea or not is petty, to
say the least -- its the shift in development focus, or the lack thereof.
I hope this clears things up better.
