OK. I wasn't necessarily pointing to 37 signals as the paragon of good UI
design. My point was that their UIs are generally subdued and not screaming
Web 2.0 or RIA. (That people seemed to like them is partially relevant
here.)

Are you saying then they are bad Designers, period? Or that that if they
availed themselves more of the Web 2.0 or RIA goodness, they'd be better?
(As we're discussing whether "richness" of desktop makes an application
"better" vs. the web idiom.)
