It's not just a question of looks though, of course.  These "proper"

toolkits provide many basic usability features, including such obvious

things as keyboard shortcuts and menus that don't go away when you

release the mouse button, that were absent from Prehistoric

Rosegarden's Athena-based widgets.
Though I did have a soft spot for that flat monochrome look -- which

was partly a design consequence of doing much of the initial work

using genuinely mono displays (huge, high-resolution Sun CRT monitors

supporting black and white pixels only, no greyscale).
Looks aside, if you tried Antique Rosegarden again now I'm sure you'd

be surprised by how little it could actually do.
