I'm not talking about just iTunes and Skype, though. I can think of several consumer programs that have become more bloated with worse UIs over time- AIM, Ad-Aware, Windows Media Player, Firefox...

It seems rather inevitable.

What do you dislike about Firefox's UI? I could never go back from Firefox 4 to Firefox 2 or 3.

The windows ui got a bit worse(no menubar by default right)

The orange menu button. I find it distracting.

Netscape was a classic too. I think Windows Explorer gets a nod as well.
