Dani,

You should try to be a little bit more objective. Your entire post
goes little beyond "I don't like it", and this is not really enough
to start a productive discussion.

You mentioned guidelines and elements of Elementary and Equinox.
Which are those, specifically? Why are they better, technically?
Where are you drawing the line between personal opinions and
facts that would apply to most average users?

And not using aggressive words like "crappy" to characterize the
work that nice people put effort into would also help. :)
