If Symphony is still based around chunks of Eclipse-created UI and honking wedges of Java, I doubt very much there is a lot LO will want to take.

On the face of it, the Symphony UI is nice in many respects - but it doesn't look designed. A smarter, leaner, more native UI would be more desirable instead of framing UI in Java.
