Like you said, they're ugly.
If they were the best damn pistol out there, I would be willing to ignore their horrible aesthetics and get one just for function. But I think pistol design and construction has gotten to the point where they are all about the same in terms of quality. Sig, Glock, Walther, XD, HK, etc are all on par in terms of quality. So it really comes down to personal taste.
I went with the Walther P99 because it's ergonomics and looks appeal to me. If someone else fins a Glock more comfortable or better looking, good for them. But they aren't getting a better designed or more durable weapon than my Walther.
