I don't believe it is a far stretch to suggest that a notion of elegant is probably rooted in notions that we dug up from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras.

As much as I completely respect the Tango project and all that it has done for GNOME, I would still question the destination. If we end up with a fully Tango'd desktop, I would wonder if that could be considered 'bliss'. Even with 100% coverage, I believe aesthetically it is not an ideal route -- and certainly not an ideal route for a culture that should probably be priding itself on diversity. Consistency for consistency's sake shouldn't be a goal unto itself. > Mike Beltzner recently pointed out that the interface unpredictability > was the reasoning behind giving Firefox 3 the Vista look on Linux.

That said, having a Tango'd Firefox is no better in my mind than having the application maintain a distinct styling if it is solid. In Mozilla's case, their work is quite tight.
