This has been my experience with most of the GNU/Free projects. They suffer from terrible UI/UX although they solve the core problem (P2P for example).
Imo, this is why private startups can out compete those free projects. The private startups focus on delivering a great UI/UX and this matters most to customers/users. Most users don't care privacy anyway. Usability comes first.
I did not understand the joke. I suppose it goes with the view that outside the USA there are no good software developers, well, because these are all second-class countries.
My friends (most of them are French) and I often joke about French people, how they dislike law and order, how they think their country is the best and the worst at the same time, etc. They're often boastful or xenophobic, but I can't see how they are different on programming, computer science or technology. BTW, the usual "joke" portrait of an American is a fat, uneducated and religious guns-lover. Please don't feel offended if you are from the USA; of course, this is far from the individual reality, but each feature is (statistically) over represented in this country, so joking about it make sense.

Who even does that?
On the other hand, that does apply to older Peugeot cars. Can only think on Alfa Romeo as worse car brand to get fixed by commoners.
you mean like the Peugeot 504 http://europe.autonews.com/article/20131204/ANE/131209940/pe... ?
Was referring to the Peugeot generation that came afterwards around '97 or so. My family had Peugeot on those days and each model they got was problematic. On the other hand, Renault was generally seen in Portugal as more stable and cheaper to repair.
