Guess there's no accounting for taste, it's clearly an ugly developer designed UI. All for maximum UX but prefer not to spend most of my day looking at something so aesthetically displeasing.

Cool nostalgic retro project though, looks similar to first Unix OS's CDE Desktop I used 20+ years ago.

That's exactly it. Taste, you either have it or you don't.

NeXTSTEP was good enough to pass the Steve Jobs taste test. Outside of Apple products, I double anything you consider "aesthetically pleasing" could say the same.
