And it looks very dated -- old-style MDI interface and controls, System font everywhere, bare-bones interface... the discussion of "5250 and 3270 host sessions" doesn't exactly speak to its modernity either.
Maybe it's just me because I am used to that interface, but it looks much more user-friendly than many of the modern apps I use:
1. I can tell at a glance what is clickable and what is not.
2. I can see the accelerator/shortcut keys for most of the elements.
3. Sections are grouped together, and on a single page. I don't have to click 'Next' to see the next three clickable widgets.
They may still be putting out builds.

I still prefer code formatting to only be used for code snippets, commands and command outputs though.
For quotes I like leading each quoted paragraph with a “>” sign and a space. Like we do in plain text emails. Same kind of thing that they talk about in http://catb.org/jargon/html/email-style.html
Same, when I saw it on a PC. Originally I saw it on a mobile app‡, which still uses horizontal scrolls - hence my comment.
