simply isn't ready yet.

Then you might cleanly exclude me from that "everybody" list. A utility
that knows and understands software repositories is much better for me
even with a few IMO minor UI nits. There is no reason for Pirut to
follow GNOME HIG. It is a set of guidelines for GNOME applications. Not
a set of black and while rules.
Pirut does look like it is a RHL 7.3 era program by looks. I see nothing
wrong with the program appearance on initial usage of the program. I did
not even consider anything wrong with the program appearance.
The program has not failed me when I used it and the program had decent
features. (The list, programs groups and the like.) I do not feel the
inclusion within FC5 is an embarrassment and doubt others would feel the
program is insufficient either.
With my past experience with using programs with a lot of eye candy,
actual features were overlooked on my part. My concentration was more
into the visual appeal of the program. I am sure that I am not the only
person distracted from decor vs. functionality.
The program later on could incorporate the eye candy. There might be
room for themes and other such add-ons later. It seems there is a desire
for the themed approach in some circles.
Main course before desert.
