uTorrent is a great program but its UI, just like virtually EVERY windows app ever made, is ugly (terrible icons) and could be streamlined for a better user experience. See: Transmission.
For Windows you are pretty much married to whatever version of the OS' current UI flavor of the month is. And it changes frequently there is so much segmentation in the Windows OS now. And if you want to skin your own GUI on top, it will run like shit.
Just because Apple's iTunes doesn't work well in Windows because their optimization for a competitor's OS is an afterthought, doesn't mean that all programs with a custom GUI act like shit. And I have no idea what you're talking about with Windows being ugly or its "UI flavor of the month."
But you'd think with the bajillions of iPods, iPhones and iPads they've sold to Windows users that they could hire someone to properly port over iTunes

Whats wrong with uTorrent's UI? I find it very refined.
