<p dir="auto">“Looks” are not just an aesthetic issue. The current interface has notable clumsiness in places, which slows down my ability to absorb information and to give commands. This is a general issue in all software, of course. The idea that “looks are orthogonal to usefulness” has been refuted by considerable research.</p>
<p dir="auto">So, I vote for the original plan of hiring someone to clean up the appearance. If you have the budget for some UI engineering, that would be even better.</p>

<p dir="auto">I’m not advocating looks over functions but I wouldn’t object to a better looking program. I look at my toolbar and the four programs I have open more or less 100% are Chrome, Xcode, iTerm, and MailMate. Masses of other programs come and go but those four stay open all the time so anything to improve the view on my eyes is welcome.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hopefully you'll like the new application icon.</p>
