Reason registration dialog is so ugly?

One issue I've always had with Borland/CodeGear products is that they almost try to make some of the ugliest dialogs known to man. I'm trying to install RAD Studio 2007 Architect and just came across the Registration dialog and man that thing is *rough*. Granted it's not looked at often but still, it's lacks any sense of "professional".
I know, a silly thing, but I firmly believe that attention to detail at every level is what makes one product feel more solid and professional than another. When you run through a Visual Studio, Mingle, CruiseControl or pretty much any other suite of software install everything feels like it fits which adds to that sense of quality.
I just don't understand it, Delphi pretty much rocks when it comes Win32 development, it's just the best, yet almost since day one the UI has always felt like it was designed by a bunch of grump UNIX developers that thought GUIs were just a passing fad and if you tried to tell them otherwise they'd just snap, "Well it works doesn't it?". How can so many generations of developers moving through Borland/CodeGear all have such horrible design aesthetic?
Anyway, just venting while I wait for the *hour long update* to process.
