Oh, Gnus is fine.  As long as you keep it off the toolbar.  Maybe
someone should ask the GNOME artists whether they are willing to
contribute a set of icons, or maybe some set is available in some
other GNOME news client or stuff.

It is not that I ever need the toolbar myself, but I switch it on
occasionally when doing demonstrations to impress people.  And then
I'd feel embarrassed calling Gnus with its garish toolbar.
