    Lack of polish stems from open source apps having engineers write the code without necessarily having input from a UX designer, would you think?

    Meanwhile if you have a paid app, you can use your budget to hire UX/QA etc.?

      I mean you can attribute it to any number of things. Most of it being probably lack of funding.

      Someone or several someones are volunteering their time to create this, and may not take the additional time required to make it “polished”, and only enough time to make it functional.

      Any idea how many UX designers help with open source? KDE looks way better than windows (IMHO) and having used it for 20 years I just seriously wonder why people pay hundreds of dollars for windows crap while they can have something better for free
