Wanted to add real quick that I didn 't mean to criticize your article or the design efforts put forth in CoverSutra, (both of which I can appreciate). Only trying to point out my personal observation that often times people (including myself) seem to interpret nice icon/graphic eye candy as good 'design' when in fact a closer look reveals that the design of the UI itself might be quite ordinary or in some cases even mediocre.
