The all-in-one Macs are generally my favorites but the G3 AIO is one I just never could appreciate. Some of them, like the TAM grew on me over time and the one in my collection certainly gets a lot of "what is that?!" reactions from people who are not so computer-savvy.
The fact that the G3 AIO was only available to the education market was a clear sign that Apple knew it was homely.
I personally don't like the look of the Flower Power iMac either but I do actually have one in my collection because it is such an interesting and bold design. If it weren't so massive I'm sure I would get my hands on one just because it is a curiosity in the Mac timeline. The size and weight are just enough to kill any possible interest I have in owning one.
And yes, it does look a lot like Gossamer from Looney Tunes. The two odd "bumps" on the top seal the deal.
