Yeah yeah. Go forward with your silly jokes, mates.

BUT we're actually a bunch of guys (more than you think) really really 
not happy at all with these ugly rounded corners.

This is not a joke. We're really pissed off.

There's no way to compare our reaction to "let's go back to OS9" and 
such crap, it's just silly. This is not even a matter of taste. C74 
shouldn't have tried to fix what was already working.

Fancy antialiasing doesn't NEED to be round, correct me if i'm wrong.

People who wants to play with ugly softwares got plenty of choices all 
around. You want your rounded corners ? You'll have it, so don't mess in 
our complains.

We're seriously asking for an extra option to have RECTANGULAR CORNERS.
