Probably not as minor as it might seem. I find eclipse ugly. And although I'd never really thought about it before, I have to admit, I think it *is* one of the many factors as to why it's always felt too "bloated" for my tastes. Besides, I can think of things (lots of things, in fact) that are pure steaming piles of (well, one can guess), but even despite that have still managed to gain widespread acceptance.
