Judging from reports that I get about Netscape 6.0 preview 
the new look might have the advantage you mentioned ...
BUT it turns out that it seems to be an example 
of bad UI-design. If you look at it 

http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/1734/1/screenshot1196/

you will mention that it's very hard to distinguish between 
the UI of Netscape and the webcontent as the buttons are painted 
in a very similar way most websites are painted now. This 
is confusing and slows down people a lot.

I hear these complains about the default-Netscape-Skin 
almost daily now ...

Tackat.
