I wonder when they stop screwing around with it and just use native look & feel.

It's frankly annoying and looks totally out of place.

When people work with Photoshop, they are typically only using that program, not multiple programs simultaneously. So I think Adobe is at some liberty to change the UI. I think the UI is supposed to mimic a darkroom.

Well, the last time I used the darkroom, it was really dark and didn't resemble the computer environment at all.

I suppose my point is that controls and UI should help rather than being annoying.
I think that could be handled by providing themes or skins with the ability to use native OS look & feel.
