At the risk of starting another flame war, I'd like to throw in that 
I've noticed some significant (IMO) usability/accessibility issues. The 
tab strips in particular are difficult to read, the progress bar doesn't 
use correct colors, the menu check marks are almost illegible, and there 
are probably other issues that I didn't spot in the brief glance from 
which I produced that list. I'm afraid to think what it would look like 
in one of the high-contrast schemes.

It *is* very pretty, though :-).
