I'm on the same page, Jeff can ship whatever passes for playable art, I'm in it for his stories and interesting gameplay. I still remember opening that giant list of spells in Exile 3 for the first time, filling a good chunk of my 640x480 screen... nothing quite like it.

I'm the opposite. I own his games, but fighting the UI all the way means that I never got very far. And this is from a guy who used to mainline dwarf fortress

Maybe due to the fact that I played all his games on a laptop and I hated the mac trackpad I decided to use mostly the hotkeys that are provided. That worked great and also sped things up significantly.

UI is very different from graphics though. You can have gorgeous graphics and terrible UI
