Of course it doesn't look busy to you, because you get it :)

Most of the employees here use our webmail interface because they find 
even simple email programs like thunderbird to complex and busy.

Basically I'm looking for a list of tickets and status.. All that extra 
"config" and how it has it split up into "my tickets" and "requested 
tickets" actually confused some of the management here.

The search interface for RT is poorly designed for the way we use the 
system, making it hard to find tickets.


Basically I'm looking for something better then this:

so somewhere between ticketsmith and RT
