So does a chainsaw. But it gets the job done quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Eye candy is fine of you put form over function, personally I prefer fast and effective. Pretty is optional.
There are lots of chainsaws that look prettier than Husqvarna's and Stihl and yet those are the ones that most professionals will use.
Really, you are putting way too much effort into this argument. I learned how to program on 40x25 and consider what I have today an incredible luxury, if you want you can customize Leo to look better but to me it isn't worth the time, I would rather spend that time on my work.
Also, if you ever actually use a chainsaw, please do look at it as you are using it.
I would put glasses, ear defenders, gloves and boots higher on that safety gear list, when cutting firewood, doing minor pruning and lopping etc.. Wear a helmet when doing anything bigger, although wood is very dense and you shouldn't expect a helmet to save you if a decent size limb comes your way. Technique is everything - learn from an expert before trying it yourself.
Chain sharpening is a mystical, ancient art, all the experts I talk to have a different view on the right technique, ranging from bench grinders to intricate jigs to simple "file and feel". I've tried them all and it basically comes down to experience. Just as important is the even wear of the bar itself, once its worn more on one side than the other the cuts bend like bananas and you can only cut so deep before the saw gets no purchase on the wood at all.
I think chainsaws are as pretty as IDEs - which maybe isn't saying much, but I love 'em both anyway...
> Joseph Buford Cox invented what is now known as the chipper type chain for chain saws. He based his design on the C-shaped jaws of the larva of the timber beetle. > He only reached the fifth grade in his formal education.

If you think that sharpening is complicated now, think again, it must have been impossible before this guy.
