This sounds like a very bad thing! If you mean, that there should be a GUI for everything, so users don't have to use the terminal - that's another thing ;-)
I love the SUSE gfx too!

I agree with the installation part (even if I'd rather see it in a window)
But I hate when people mix eye-candy and professional. I think professional stuff should be clean of "extra" eye candy, for exemple in compiz: Scale yes, useful when lots of windows are open. Water effect: use this at home you gadget lover.
I don't remember I had to use the terminal for "standard user use" (except following a tutorial to install a package via apt-get but it's the tutorial fault if it said apt-get instead of synaptic (the terminal way is faster though).
So, to me: -1.

Get better graphics, yes! Get rid of the terminal, NO!
+1
PS: There is a way to edit the ideas. Go to "My Dashboard", click on the "My Ideas" tab, and click on the pencil icon.

Keep it simple. I think it would be great to have a checkbox that makes all of that "This is what I'm doing" mess available and certainly a tty that shows more installation messages would be great, but the average user doesn't like to be confused by technical terms and menus.
I do like the idea of having a tutorial during the installation process though - I.E. showing how to use the applications, places, system menus, save OOo documents as MS format, etc. That could be professional and have eye candy.

+1 for improving eye candy.
-1 for getting rid of the terminal altogether. Bad idea. Keep the terminal for those who want it and create GUIs for those who want that.
+1 - 1 = 0 , and so I will remain neutral on this.

anybody who says more eye candy has my vote. Kubuntu has two sets of icons. One of which i have never used. So +1

Eye-candy ok eg. icons. a little refinement never hurt. I installed the 'New Human' theme and love the unified look. I love squarish scollbars with rounded edges and the general look. I like the Ubuntu splash but I agree that the Suse install looks nicer. All the eye-candy in compiz does come with Ubuntu, you just "gotta config it" (see switch to Linux parody anim for ref). I love desktop cube and use it all the time but would like to see one theme per desktop and similar things to differentiate which is which though.

Well, i think that opensuse i really very bad comparison. It's ulgy and scary with all those texts and icons on the installation. -1
Ubuntu should always be simple and not scaring.
