> using Wireshark on the Mac is not a pleasant visual experience.
I personally do not give a flying fart what the "visual experience" is as long as it works and the interface is very usable.
You know who said something similar in the last few years? Jony Ive at Apple. Even though I like the concept of flat design and really wanted to like iOS 7 at first, it is the first time since Jobs left the world that they royally fucked over the UI. And it was in the name of "visual experience". It's hard to believe they even tested it on humans. To tell you how bad I think it is: I used it for days in inverse color mode, because that was better. If you've used that for a while, you know what that means.
I know they tried and they got some things right, but that is the reason you give interface to UE people, NOT designers. Great designers don't make great interfaces. They make great designs.
So, screw the visual bells and whistles. Give me emacs and midnight commander.
