I see many people here dissing Eugenia over the fact that she finds aesthetics important-- I just wish to say that I agree with her. Aesthetics certainly do influence the satisfaction one has with an application. And no, I'm not pulling this from the air; I study psychology (brag brag ), and stuff like this is also a major part of that study (talking to people on a couch represents 10% or so ).
It's the same with windows (the real ones): people will work harder in offices with windows, than in offices with less or no windows.
