> The Basecamp styling is really clear, and it's nice to see the interface on display

Promising. Anyone who seems to take inspiration from Basecamp is worth at least 30 extra seconds consideration in my book.

Basecamp is the company behind Rails and they were IMO one of the driving forces that made Ajax accessible and web application developement enjoyable.

Their UX was (and probably is) good, and their business philosophy flies right in the face of "unicorn or nothing" which means I wish more people would learn from them. Heh, I realize I'm probably not meant to say that here, but based on previous experience I expect it to be tolerated : )
