Acorn has one of the most innovative interfaces of any Mac application. Instead of cloning Photoshop's interface, Gus Mueller has really created something special, whilst making it feel more like a Mac application than any other image editor. As an aside, I hate the HUD windows used in Pixelmator. A few HUDs aren't too bad, but using them throughout is insane. Another application in the trend of style over substance.
