	To a certain extent, I disagree.  I like to work in a pleasant GUI
environment.  Besides the mere functionality of widgets, I like to have
text scroll smoothly, and to get visual feedback that increases the
intuitiveness of a program (i.e., when a window manager has the NeXt-like
iconization and restoration animations).

	The Amiga was incredible at that sort of thing.

P.S. I definately agree the that functionality comes first.  Being able to
turn off animations in "themes" sounds like the way to go.
