@kaia i disagree, this is hideous

It is! It didn't look cool back in the day either. But the UI designs we have today are just garbage IMO, especially what Apple dies — just looking at that is painful 😖
But the worst part with modern GNOME is that in an attempt to make it more "streamlined" they've managed to make it both garbage and way less customisable — you can't even make it look better without putting significant effort into it.

I can see where this is coming from: you don't even think about customisation as long as you like everything and think that it's only people who have too much time on their hands do.
It was the same with me and early Mac OS X — there are some changes that you can adapt to and I did up to 10.9, but 10.10 was so bad that it made my blood boil, on my two 30" displays using it was genuinely a tiring experience.
I treasure having the option to fix things I don't like about the UI😄

@m0xee @kaia I'm fine with the way it looks and don't see a need to customize my desktop environment. There's always KDE/Xfce I guess
