FOSS software design has always been and always will be shit, elementary OS trying to make difference but they just try to copy macos which makes it more pathetic...

Real companies hire designers to make things look good, freetards are people like >>45400351 who think they anything about UX.

This looks better than any Windows UI design I've ever seen.
>>
>>45400393
Before looking good, a UI has to be intuitive and allow you to work efficiently. I don't need a goddamn 2D/3D transition every time I click a button.

That being said, I enjoy it when well done, like MS Office 2013.

Applefags would align all the boxes. Make it look neater but sacrifice usability and make the user go cross-eyed.

This is what OSX' menus look like - look me in the eyes and tell me that's bad in ANY way.

Why is search centered?
>>
>>45400393
Since you know so much about UX why don't you fix it? It's not that hard to change the positions of some boxes in a dialog.

>>45399892
The only thing particularly unfriendly is the requirement that the user understand printf style format strings, but that can easily be remedied.
