Geez, chill out dude. All I said was that is looks unprofessional and 
the images that are available look kinda goofy (a bunch of gold wrenches 
and antennae). The software coding behind it might be very nice and 
flexible. It might just be a matter of fixing the paint problem I 
mentioned and plugging in some nice images. I realize it is not out now, 
that is why I am spending my valuable time to provide the feedback on a 
release candidate. If it goes final looking the way it does, especially 
with the problem I mentioned, my opinion is that it will be a turn off 
to new users.

I think your attitude is way out of line against someone who simply 
provided their own opinion. You are equating a criticism of the 
aesthetic with whatever coding effort went behind it. Those are two 
completely different things.

ps. I did contribute to mythtv in the past. Code I wrote is in the 
current baseline.
