To me it's the exact opposite, OpenLook was just UGLY. CDE/Motif didn't look that great either, but it was at least serviceable.

It's very telling that no one at Sun would look at OpenLook and recognize it as ugly. Sun was an engineering company, the entire company, from the CEO on down, had no taste.

Exhibit #2: the Java Metal look and feel, almost repulsively ugly, yet no one at Sun saw anything wrong.

Exception: Sun's printed documentation was beautiful
Were they using the stock troff look by any chance?
