WRT the Modern theme, why I use it

With regard to the blog post about the modern theme, here are my
thoughts and why I am a Modern theme user.

I've used Modern Theme forever, since it was born I guess, and being
stubborn and unchanging I'm rather used to it. The flatness and lack
of glassy, glowing, shiny things doesn't bother me, in fact it is kind
of comforting, like arriving back home after a long vacation. Sure,
the hotel is fancy and you have a beach, but home is home.  Also, it
is exactly the same on every platform, unlike Classic which tries to
mimic the local system theme, so my Seamonkey at work (in Windows XP)
and at home (in Linux) looks identical, again making it a more
comfortable user experience.

Another reason I use Modern is the Classic theme looks really terrible
on my system (I use KDE), and on Windows it looks like Windows which
is ugly too. :)  I use gtk-engines-qt which does a pretty good job of
taking my KDE/qt theme and using it in GTK apps, but it's far from
perfect and sometimes makes things worse. Firefox default theme looks
much better (and more "native") than Seamonkey classic theme does to
me. Obviously they've got a lot of people, money and effort invested
to accomplish that.

So, I use Modern because it looks better than Classic, and because it
has not changed in a decade and I don't change what I'm used to.
Really, that's why I use Seamonkey in general... Firefox is faster and
has many interesting add-ons, but I'm used to Seamonkey and Multizilla
and see no reason to change. Plus, I can freely use both browsers so
if there's something I really must have in Firefox, I can use it. But
all of my bookmarks and saved forms etc are in SM.

That being said, you may think I'll be against improvements to the
Modern theme but that is not the case at all. I look forward to any
improvements to the look of MZ in the Modern theme and certainly
welcome them with open arms. :)

Thanks,
Paul
