"Windows 98 looking GUI" fits me. It helps me ignore visual appearance. 

However, I miss a number of controls that were taken for granted at the time of Windows 98. How come it take years from the first appearance of new controls until they become mature enough to be documented (e.g. uitable, uitab, uitree)?
