I agree.  In designing the user interface "coolness" was paramount, not functionality, a bad recipe.  That pervasive philosophy coupled with arrogance--consumers really don't know what they want--you end up with crap that looks "cool," but lacks ease and simplicity of operation.

KISS is my advice to the designers of Huludesktop.
