How can a bug like this with so many responses be undecided or low in priority?
Usability is a key factor in modern systems and can not be rated high enough.
With usability I mean pure pragmatic ergonomics, not animations or themes which are merely design which can be argued about.
Usability tests comprise of things like
 * number of clicks to perform a task,
 * mouse movements required
 * hit and miss clicks
 * eye movements required to find the next step in a workflow
  etc.
Usabiltiy is fairly easy to count and meter and to build a testbed for.
When I look a the plethora of themes, color and background settings it seems to me though that ergonomics do not have enough charme for most developers.
