The only time aesthetics should matter is when it affects functionality. Form should never come before function - if it did, software would be increasingly frustrating yet nice to look at. Who cares what software looks like if it's no good? Now, don't get me wrong, you can have both but when software is free and it works, who cares what it looks like?It could be argued (as I do) that Firefox is ugly. It's inability to integrate well with OS X in terms of aesthetics is disappointing. Yet, it is my primary browser along with Opera because it works. Sure, it looks out of place but it does a good job of doing what I want a browser to do.</blockquote>
