This is really going bike shed...
To me the difference in desirability between rectangular and rounded
buttons is insignificant. (Though as I said before I find nothing wrong
with rectanguilar ones.) And if the reason for going round is that
"Everybody else is doing it", that's a non-reason...
I'd think it was far more important to get a *really* stable system *first*,
before thinking about prettyfying it. We need a scheduler that
doesn't priority-invert, for instance (hopefully nearly there on that one).
And we shouldn't even think of making any changes that might break
current apps.
That's the way I see it, anyway.
