Please lock this thread, it seems to have gotten out of hand.

I've been checking out the UI section recently, and even posted my own UI. I absolutely detest the default Blizzard UI due to clunkiness, lack of any real aesthetics, and it takes up a huge amount of space on your screen. I have seen a lot of different UI's, some good, some bad, but in all of them, they are trying to steer clear of any type of similarity between the modified UI, and the default UI, due to it's unprofessional look.
Ranting aside, it blew my mind when I came here and saw some obviously skilled players still using the default artwork! What is it about the default UI that places it ahead of every other UI? If it were one or two people I would chalk it up to different taste, but almost every UI i have seen on this site has the Blizzard art work and frames still in use, which means either one of two things to me:
1. The vast majority of twinks (as this is a twink site, and no other site I frequent utilizes the original Blizzard UI the extent that you do) have not grown out/matured enough to stop using the default UI.
2. The default UI offers a functionality that remains hidden to me- some hidden game mechanic that gives twinks a boost on the battleground and in duels.
I'm not at all saying that the players skill is a derivative of the players UI, but come on...surely there must be more people with more imagination and creativity to design and implement a true work of art when it comes to re designing their UI?
