I know, right!? Add gimp to that list as well. I can go on and on about shortcomings of gimp despite being a happy user. The average gimp hater, on the other hand, doesn't have anything to say besides "the UI is dumb and I can't figure out how to draw a circle"

"The UI is unintuitive" is a legitimate complaint

"Intuitive UI" results in Gnome.

Is it really intuitive if I have to open dconf-editor to change the system font?

They call it "intuitive UI", Linus calls it "‘users are idiots, and are confused by functionality’ mentality of Gnome"

It's not always a zero-sum game.

Elaborate? Most of good UI comes from KDE.

What I mean is, makingg a UI more intuitive does not necessarily make it more... Gnome-ey? It can still be effective, customizable, etc.

"Intuitive UI" crowd usually means Gnome-ey/Apple-ey design.

In reality customizable design is more intuitive, because you can customize it to your intuition.

kate editor would like to have a word... They did my lady kate dirty with the latest updates :( The top level File menu was so much better and now I don't know where to find the configuration to get that back, and have on my work computer a stupid single button in the top right corner which opens the "menu bar", except vertically..
