As someone who uses Gnome familly applications daily, I have to disagree with the notion that bad UX is fundamental to FOSS software. The gnome apps and shell all follow the same set of UX guidelines and feel quite cohesive as a result. I can definetly see where you get the idea of bad UX in foss though (looking at you, GIMP and Libreoffice)

    I'm not saying it's fundamental, sorry, I should have specified. You're exactly right, GNOME is driven by it's Foundation and so there is leadership in place to make sure that the software ends up as a cohesive whole. Software projects that don't, or that create one after the fact, tend to be a lot less so.
