If someone submits nice icons for our tool bar, or points to existing
nice icons, which have no licensing issues, I'm sure they will be
added to Emacs. AFAIR, all the attempts to do that couldn't find free
icons that are also visually appealing, or at least more appealing
than what we already have.
IOW, it isn't like we don't want better icons, or don't understand or
share the motivation of looking "modern, cohesive, and unified". It's
just that no one produced such nice icons that we can use. As always
in Emacs, the problem is the lack of volunteers who are capable of
doing the job, not the lack of motivation.
