@ forrest:
i disagree! the look and feel of an application is very important. it's an important difference between OS X and Windows, which has still a very bad look and feel.

you don't have to be a designer to tell if icons are "good or bad".
"good design" means, that people like it (the look and the functionality). and of course this is always subjective and differs from one person to another.
when a lot of people tell, that they don't like the new icons, there must be something wrong with them.
