I don't consider a visual difference done just for the sake of a visual
difference a killer feature, not even close (well, depends on the meaning of
killer, too). I don't see what should be so cool about doing things
differently just because one can.

I must be misunderstanding this.

I suppose this has nothing to do with the visual appearance or the other
features.

Besides a modal dialog?
