When the menu text looks right in one app, but looks like it's
too big to even be the banner across the top of the next app, the 
appearance sucks.  That's just the menuing.  Tool bars, symbols,
data, and so on need the same help between one app and the next.

The point you're missing here, is that there is no current
working standard, and that a new standard is needed.

By the by, your flame war tactic of deleting my points, and
then continuing on, pretending they were never made, is not
appreciated.
