The only thing I can see needing improvement is the GUI. I quote from FirestormX: "...it doesn't feel like Windows".
It's not meant to. It's Java. Do you really want them to have to code and maintain five (XP, Vista, Mac OS X, GTK, Qt) icon and interface styles, with more later (BSD?) just so Windows users can feel better? Windows doesn't feel like Windows. Look at Vista and compare Microsoft's own products - Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Office 2007, Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker and the Control Panel. Not ONE of those applications is consistent with another, and if Microsoft doesn't stick to a style on their own OS, how can third parties? The current theme/style/whatever is functional, and can even be considered pretty. It isn't consistent with Windows because it isn't worth the developer time (currently) to provide native integration.

I'm afraid of any megabytes the user has to have, and terrified of megabytes the user user has to have.
Thinking openly, the GPL says I have to give you the code, not an environment to edit it in.
