I asked myself the same question a lot of times when building the
website design. (I don't like very much how Emacs looks by default, but
that's a topic for another day.)

After trying many alternatives I decided that showing how Emacs can look
like it something for the tour page.  I think the screenshot on the
homepage should show how Emacs looks by default.

Cheers,
Nico
