That's funny. In my group, I'm usually the old-fashioned guy playing
this role :-)

Hm. I don't know. If you ask me personally, I'd say no, thank you very
much. OTOH I do understand the "desktop folks" trying to achieve an
uniform (and themeable) look across all applications. Under this
premise, Emacs would have to use whatever icon set is provided by the
desktop theme, which nowadays is becoming more and more a scalable one.

Sorry for not giving a clear-cut answer.
