Yeah as a person who only uses Microsoft Windows when absolutely necessary, who consequently has not been conditioned to overlook its many quirks, I find it hilarious that someone would judge an app for not being consistent with the look and feel. To see how unrealistic this complaint is, all you have to do is launch the Control Panel, then launch the Device Manager, and compare them.

Not sure why, this is like fallacies 101. Just because many other surrounding applications are inconsistent in their presentation, that doesn't mean this situation should be worsened.

Why is it a fallacy? I am pointing out that the reference on which consistency would be based isn't clear.
