@neko to be fair, while his products didn't deliver that experience half the time, he himself had a point... Most software people do not focus on UX very much. Or if they do it's not to deliver a cohesive experience, but a kind of myopic need to shepherd them into certain behaviors the business has decided is profitable. I'd like to see an open source project that could build a desktop environment that would "just work" for people, but we can't have that because everyone in open source starts pulling shit in fifty different directions.

Like how nice would it be if every networked service automatically advertised its capabilities by default? Like you could just open up something on your computer and see everything running on your network? Turned on a brand new raspberry pi? Don't want to hook it up to a monitor and keyboard to configure it? Just open network explorer and click on it, and you can SSH in and start using it. I'm not saying make it easy for braindead users to use-- I don't think that's possible or even a worthy goal. Just stop wasting our time with minutia. Use sensible defaults rather than the absolute minimum. But nah, we still have to type in IP addresses even now.
