Maybe this will surprise you but most people, which are non- 
programmers and have no insight into software's workings and how it  
is developed *will* judge software by its look, because that is how  
they experience the software. I know this from first hand experience  
with our customers. Only if the software shows severe  
disfunctionality people will complain about something else than the  
look. This is one of the reasons why so many folks still stick to  
Windows in their day to day using and don't complain to much. The  
opposite is also true: software must be really outstanding in  
functionality to make people forget how it looks.

So I think screenshots are a 'must have'.
