Sorry, can't agree. The big solid colours and non-rounded flat rectangles on Windows Phone make it extremely ugly to me - and probably to most consumers. Some animations are reasonably nice and sometimes the typography-focused design is attractive, but in general I find the icons to be horrible and the flat colours make me want to look away.
Stock Android is not perfectly beautiful, but the most ugly parts of Holo are the parts that mimic Windows Phone's solid colours and flat rectangles.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
