I disagree. Adding roundness makes the interface, well, "round"--
that's all. I think it's all just a matter of what you are used to.

Which means users from those platforms will be used to rounded window
corners, and hence will (probably) prefer rounded window corners for the
simple reason that that is what they are used to. I personally prefer
square window corners, again because it is what I am used to. So, I
think it's good that Squeak supports it both ways.
But I still think that it's just a matter of what you are used to.
