I agree!  Sort of.

The OpenLook vs. Motif debate is degenerating into a religious war.  What
would REALLY be helpful (IMHO) is some lively debate on how to use OpenLook,
or Motif, or whatever, to write a good user-interface.  A consistent
look-and-feel or a nifty toolkit doesn't guarantee that a user-interface will
be easy to use.  And that's the whole point, isn't it?
