Okay, I found eBrowser.  I opened up some code, and
my first impression was...this is ugly!  Sorry, I think
it was just the font.  I looked at the stuff in the walnut
and it looked fine.  Maybe there are more <> or :'s
than in other languages?  I don't think courier is
known for making things look good.  Maybe it's
because the language is so densely packed?

I'm on debian sarge.  The terminals are pretty ugly
too, under KDE.
