While I believe everything I've said I also believe that 90% of graphical applications are dogshit and 99% of closed source software is dogshit and I don't think these things can change due to conflict of interest. I very strictly use only open source software in my workflow and because of this, when I have a problem with the tools I just fix them myself.

Even if I had that luxury, I really don't want to spend my time fixing someone else's UI. I have my own projects to work on.

I used to do a lot of user testing and I think it's something every bit of software needs. I really admire projects that decide to do big pushes on usability and papercuts.

I don't know, am I? I tried to keep it civil, until you argued - multiple times - that everyone who thinks that your software of choice is cumbersome is just too dumb to learn it and got downvoted almost every time. Then you gave me a snippy reply when I politely asked what your professional relationship with that software is.

By the way: software engineer, 22 years hobby, 16 years professional.

Maybe we should just accept that everyone has different needs and experiences and not judge others for not liking the things we like? Does that sound fair?
