gollark: I mean, I can provide *counterexamples*.
gollark: Can you give *specific examples*?
gollark: I will admit that there are some terrible UIs in FOSS stuff. But this applies to regular software too.
gollark: Also... VS Code, Terminator, the volume control application I use, LXDE.
gollark: Yeees, the text editing experience isn't great, so I mostly use it to slightly meddle with programs.
