Personally, I think it's pretty sexy, very distinctive middlespace, 
never even thought of it as weird really.  I've seen some tools that 
use similar text/window approaches at the shell, and think it can be 
great if it's used for something which is to be a focused, 
self-contained task.

(i.e. if my cellphone UI folks would implement something similar for 
various features, instead of the mixed text/pictograph appstuuff, they 
may be actually functional IMHO...)
