It is easy to dismiss as "ugly", but for many this "messy" remote control thing is a huge step forward compared to "open download dialog and paste an openstreetmap.org URL there" that was the norm in pre-remote-control times. The JOSM team will happily listen to suggestions for alternative solutions. We won't even require that you code them yourself although if you have code contributions that's of course even better. JOSM is designed to be able to run as an applet but this has never been widely pursued for reasons unknown to me; maybe the reason was that the API did not have a good user preference mechanism back then and with no write access to the local disk it was difficult to make JOSM usable. With more granular preferences API, maybe that avenue can be tried out again?
