trap, I agree with what you're saying about the technical aspects of LW, but the first priority is the user. B/c w/o the user, gnutella and LW are nothing. Say if PC people go to Kazaa instead of LW, b/c they don't like the GUI, that's one less person uploading and sharing and contributing to the network. The network works on the basis of its wide user base, and at the very least, LW has to maintain its current user base, and ideally increase it. While other gnutella clients improve their GUI, and seemingly, to the casual user, thus drastically increase the effectiveness of the software, LW loses out if they don't at least keep pace. And this is much more applicable to PC users, who have such a wide variety of choices. If the people want eye candy, and it takes a little eye candy to get these people on LW and share, I'd want a couple more thousand users sharing than a fixed resume button.
