   The "Open source developers don’t care about UI" trope is incredibly insulting.

   It’s like telling the forth runner across the finish line at a marathon they clearly don’t care about winning.

   Nobody wants their app to look bad. We can and do look at other apps and try to follow trends. Trends change rapidly and UI development is difficult and time consuming.

     @daniel I do think that hits on part of the issue, the "try to follow trends", this is an endless fight that has a constantly moving goal post. I think it's far more important to have a clear vision of what you're trying to achieve and adjust course as you realize certain assumptions you had don't apply in the real world.
