I _use_ the icons. And some of them are functional too. The JUnit
one animates during test runs to show progress and to indicate if any
tests fail. If your tests result in logging, the console window comes
to the front, so this animation actually provides useful and important
information. Eclipse would be less functional without it. And we
don't want a less functional but more OS X in appearance Eclipse. Do
we?
My two cents.
