Respectfully, I disagree. Having a shiny AND functional tool (no smut
here, I'm British) is perfectly possible, and wanting to use one
doesn't make you a magpie. It's snobbery -- you might say 'inverted'
snobbery -- to suggest so.

"Shiny" isn't necessarily "improved" but they're not mutually
exclusive. Would you suggest Frescobaldi is *not* a big improvement in
the User Interface for Lilypond development?
