It doesn't look too bad. Seems like some sort of bug tracking or issue tracking software. The middle section displays bugs. The top section lets you select what bugs to display. The bottom section displays information about the bug. The bit green "+" is used to add new bugs. It's not beautiful, but it gets the job done.

Edit: For comparison, look at these screenshots of FogBugz and Bugzilla

Software needs to be functional before it's beautiful. Ideally, you have both, but sometimes you need to prioritize.

I think Bugzilla is an example of a web application with an extremely badly designed user interface - I find it very frustrating to use in general with unclear navigation and excessive clutter.

Compare it to trac, an application that has basically the same functionality yet is a joy to use (e.g http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6614)
