Tried KDE or GNOME? If a consistent look and feel on the desktop is important,
these provide their own "native" solutions for most of the usual desktop stuff.
However, the sad truth is that one still has to pick and chose from the huge
smorgasboard of applications using different toolkits to get the best
applications rather than a unified user interface. OTOH, for any serious use,
the user interface of an application is better adapted to the task at hand than
to any certain look and feel.
Anyway, as opposed to the Windows/MacOS/OS/2/BeOS etc situation, all these
applications run natively and at full speed on any X server based desktop - no
emulators or anything - since it's all actually native code for the same OS,
just using different toolkit libraries to draw using the same graphics API.
As I personally tend to learn a good application and then stick to it, using it
heavily until I find a better alternative, this is just fine with me - usability
is more important than look and feel in the long run.
