Actually, I thought OPEN LOOK was pretty good for what it was meant for (high resolution displays - it looked pretty poor on low VGA resolution).
Its scroll bars can let one get directly to the beginning or end, or move quickly anywhere, or move at a constant rate, with just the mouse, no control-mouse key combinations needed. And its pushpins forced the adding to Motif of tear-off menus as part of the agreement on CDE. As a GUI, I think OPEN LOOK was better than Motif. As a toolkit, XView was a little...hokey, but it was meant to be easy to port to from the earlier SunView (non-X). The OLIT toolkit for OPEN LOOK was at least Xt based (like Motif), so it wasn't quite so strange. Of course, nowadays it seems like the popular toolkits are ignoring Xt (and even X resources).
