Why use Rockbox, it seems so UGLY

[hotrod]

I really want to try Rockbox on my e260. I would love to have the clock on my now playing screen and the ability to bookmark my audio/book mp3 files. But the totally text driven menu structure seems horrible.

I haven't loaded rockbox onto my sansa yet, only downloaded the simulator and installed a couple of themes. And while the themes improve the look, none of them look anywhere close to something as nice as the original sansa look, let alone an ipod....with scrolling menus and icons.

Am I missing something?
