yup... it is all about functionality not if it is all pretty (that is what the Apple products are for). At least you won't get the blue screen of death that came with windows 95! Linux rules.
I think it's funny that everyone is focussing on the look and feel...personally no one is asking the "hard questions"...
1. What is the security being used to secure the information? 2. Is it encrypted? 3. Where is it stored? 4. What fail-over measures are in place?
Ever since the GUI came about...it's all about flash...not substance. To be honest, the GUI can can fixed/adjusted all day long...miss the above...and it's GAME OVER.
Again, it's what you DON'T SEE is what's important in this solution.
