I don't agree that xscreensaver isn't very aesthetic. I love the oodles
of different savers there are, and the fact that you can customize them.
Does LightDM include an Apple ][ simulator? A BSOD simulation? Piles and
Piles of random bizarre shapes? I will always stick with dear old
xscreensaver, because it's got such a wonderful variety.
