This is really just your opinion, Dave. I really dislike it when
people try to speak for me/others, so please just stop it.<br>
<br>
I, and many others I know, think the UI is just fine.<br>
<br>
That said, I do heavily customize it from the default - but that is
the beauty of Mozilla products and *why* I prefer both Firefox and
Thunderbird.<br>
<br>
Also - if you really feel this way, then you should be pushing for
modernization of the internals to allow for themes to change the UI
in a more comprehensive way (like the way Classic Theme Restorer
does for Firefox), this way each of us could have our cake, and eat
it too.<br>
<br>
I have personally been very uncomfortable with the discussion
regarding the deprecation of XUL and XPCOM, specifically with
respect to certain Addon devs (Classic Theme Restorer for Firefox
mainly) concerns about even being able to do what they are currently
doing with the new model.<br>
<br>
If I lose the ability to modify Thunderbird/Firefox to *my* liking
because of the loss of XUL/XPCOM, I will wait a certain amount of
time to see if the Addon Devs can work things out, and if not, will
have to see what else is out there (my biggest fear being there are
no real alternatives).<br>
