Not only should you expect better from Gruber, it isn’t at all clear that Android is particularly great, UI-wise. Google’s focus on simple and fast is admirable, and GNOME could stand to go still farther in that direction, but at the end of the day there is only so much you can cut out- at some point you have to provide some UI, and Google has no track record of being particularly innovative in that area.
