Yeah, the cableguys GUIs are pretty nice looking.

Surge, Chromaphone, Fabfilter Volcano, Uhbiks, some of the NI guis I`ve seen look very very nice too...also Renoise looks great, not a plugin though, Redux probably gonna look similar (I hope)

I'll get lynched for this, but actually I really like the Melda guis.

Oh and anything by Flavors of Lime.

Wealthy folks can afford comps with big, oversized screens……but if you just own a small laptop big GUI's really suck!

Some developers don't seem to think about it enough, but probably they want to attract customers with fat wallets.

Sausage Fattener is a sentimental favorite.

At first sight, MUX seemed a little unusual, but it's one of very few synths where I was able to program exactly the patch I had in my head without looking up anything in the manual. I don't even know if there IS a manual. Definitely a good functional design.

DUNE is simple (and easy to use), but has an austere sort of elegance:

And while Moog had already done most of the hard work of developing a straightforward, functional interface, Native Instruments' translation in Monark is just gorgeous.

What were you guys thinking when you release it with GUI? Were you afraid that ssl might sue you and that's why you make that candy cane GUI?

If there is a developer with constantly high-standard GUI's then it is Waves. More or less everything they have done is very tasteful and eminently usable.

Though I must say that some of their older plugins could have a GUI makeover like they did with Q10, C1 and L1.

I love the Audio Damage stuff , except maybe Ronin.
Replicant and Big Seq2 are among the faves.
