Stictly on the whitespace issue, I'm with you on this one. Whitespace
makes a *huge* difference in how professional or polished a program
looks. It can also be used to line up widgets into columns, which when 
done properly, eases the eye's journey around the window. I've got some 
links a professor of mine had made up about this--I'll have to go dig
them up. And translate them into English.  :)
