"The purpose of this article is not to emphasize the strengths and merits of Ubuntu user experience, but instead to shed a brighter light on areas that have been neglected due to shortage of time and resources, usability testing, and various software and artwork defects. I hope those who are sometimes overprotective of open-source software will take my recommendations with a pinch of salt and see this article for what it really tries to be: a vocal user experience report and constructive criticism."

You guys should be nice to the coders and stop worrying about desktop domination. If you never spent the 80% on spit and shine, you'd have 5 times as many cool features."
I do agree with your opinion to a degree, but developers sometimes forget that it's the 'spit and shine' that often attracts new users (OS X is an example of this). Unfortunately, the name of the game is to attract new users to keep projects (such as Ubuntu) running.
