Some cursory googling will probably help you tart up emacs a bit. eg "emacs fonts", "emacs colour theme"

Also look at some alternative emacs like aquamacs.

Um, I have been an emacs user for a long time. I have done all that; still it does not look good as Sublime or Atom. I am looking for information on how it could be improved and what Emacs is lacking

Key bindings don't make emacs. It is my ability to bend it to my will that makes emacs emacs.

So here's my question again. Which toolkit does it use, what makes it look like it is built for Windows 3.1? Does anybody know?
