I actually prefer ClearLook to BlueCurve, but each to their own.

I believe (but could be wrong) that the move to ClearLook is part of the
philosophy of trying to follow upstream trends as much as possible for
various packages.  With ClearLook set to become the default theme for
Gnome it would appear that FC is following this upstream trend and using
is as the default them for FC4.
