FWIW, and this is of course highly subjective, but I think the rounded
style looks much better, more professional and more modern.  The
trade-off with regards to screen real estate will be well worth it for
the default case, I think.  If we decide to go that way, we could
always keep the other look around as an option for those working on
smaller screens.
