Speaking of pretty interfaces, both MusE and OOM2 need a revamp. OOM2
is a step in the right direction, but it's still in late 90s (as well
as way too many other apps). Sadly, there is only one Thorsten Wilms,
and whoever did Wired is not around anymore. IMO, only Calf from Git
has state of the art UI today, with Ardour 3 next to it and Rosegarden
trotting along.

I wonder if this is widely acknowledged and hence whether there's
interest to look for connections with designers communities.

P.S. For usability, teams could probably apply to participate at
OpenUsability(.org) program this year.
