I've never really looked at PD for instance,
though I've heard it can do wonders. I just looked at it recently
again, it strikes me how butt ugly it is. I can't help but think it
would be more appealing if it was gorgeous.
I think it's really a matter of taste, I'm personally not that fond of
interfaces that try to replicate hardware - I think it's a bit pointless.
PD is pure functionality, and has it's own aesthetic (an aquired taste maybe :))
But user interfaces are _very hard_ to get right - a lot of programmers don't
realise that I think.
There was an amazing looking modular for linux (I think) that I saw a
screenshot of ages ago, where the modules were made out of the maths operators
they represented - lots of neon colours. I can't find it now, does anyone know
what I'm talking about, or did I dream it?? :)
