I'd be nervous about giving access to any nonpublic data to a closed-source app that only works while online.

Just out of curiosity, does any one find these sorts of retro gui appealing in saas-y type software?

I personally am turned off by it.

Unless of course I’m missing the point and it’s supposed to be ironic.

Love the retro look and feel for native apps but yea, it doesn't feel right for a SaaS app.

That is not an accurate reproduction of the classic Windows UI. The 3D bevels on buttons and other beveled elements are wrong and make it look more like Motif if anything.

The visualiser tool seems a little broken

(nodes laid out in a long diagonal line, foreign key reference arrows floating around and not "attached")

Clippy is an office thing, not win2k.
