I just realized, I think I can and should clarify, with more than just
'This one looks purdy.'

I find that the 'Raised 3D' look of Smooth/Glider to be somewhat harsh
and distracting at times, where as Indubstrial blends well between
widgets. For example, the contrast between the filemenu, toolbar, and
navigational treeview in Evolution:

(Note: I'd like to reiterate that I think both are excellent themes and
should be included in the Desktop ... this is simply for the sake of
deciding the default.)
