Yes, I think I get that, but if everything was done to HIG all apps would look the same (much like all writing conforming to Formal English reads the same). I think what I'm asking is this, what can they do to conform to good GUI guidelines (HIG compliance doesn't necessarily answer that mail) and still maintain a unique looking interface?

Also, in many cases, the developer may not know what's wrong with their interface or why it doesn't comply with HIG.

Non-constructive criticism like this (while funny on some level) isn't exactly pushing humanity forward, it's just bitching.




These apps are so far from the HIG that pushing this out would make the creators read the HIG, hopefully sucking in some of it.
