Sounds like me.
People seem to have a visceral reaction to the polish on the GUI… it goes beyond rationality into a kind-of "OMFG, that looks so very f**king cool, this
must be a good computer!". I hear lots of users saying "It just feels better!", and not very many saying "It was cool! App A could do all this cool functionality!" (unless they're hard-core geeks, in which case little I could say would change their minds anyway).
