Oh - then how come I've never had any problems with it?

I'm sorry I thought I was talking to a rational individual.  Morality is,  
at worst, a societal decree of acceptable behaviour, and at best a clear  
definition of correct behaviour provided by the designer of a system.
I'm guessing you're agnostic since you seem to detest religion so much.

ugly - subjective
blurry - subjective and dependant on the antialiasing used
unreadable - subjective
You (as admitted below) just hate anything new.

Never causes me any issues - on personal machines or any of the servers  
(both in office servers and the ~hundred public facing servers we run).
Cryptic config is a pain wherever it is, but it's not as if the ion config  
file is stable in syntax.

Except vacuum cleaners I presume.

Not if it's correctly implemented when you integrate it.
