The world is turning upside down. People in the Joel on Software forum ask for professionally looking look and feels for .NET applications -- comparable to Java look and feel implementations:
I have started developing a windows application in C# using the express c# visual studio ide. It is a simple application, similar to many chat clients. While I can do all the logic and lay out components on the GUI, I'm horrified at how ugly it looks! I've done a small number of GUIs in Java as well, but there are some very nice L&Fs for Java which turn an average GUI into something nice ...
So what is it with us Java developers? We always whine about the lousy looking desktop applications; at the same time, .NET developers are jealous of our variety of look and feels.
