i agree - for a platform aimed at the graphics market their UI is bad!
and, yes, it does matter - i don't want to develop on an ugly platform! like i don't want to read badly printed books.
the main reason i chose emacs over gedit was the fonts were easy to look at. its not silly - visual impressions and ease of use are easy.
i'm new to developping and i looked at the screenshot and thought: yeurgh! even if it is the most flexibale powerful set of dev tools around.
netbeans - slow though it is - doesn't give me a swirling headache after prolonged use...
