I'm not defending the default in the looks department, but aside from a couple of niggles I think it is very easy to do work on.

All of the above could be levelled at Pro Tools, which I think is a fugly mess, and you can't even get a different theme for that! But, it is the functionality that ultimately sells it.

All of the big complaints were also levelled at default V5. The good thing about REAPER is that it is so customisable and the community is active in doing that, so it shouldn't be too hard for people to get together and produce a theme that is to their liking for V6.
