> It's true that many engineer-designed products are terrible

Selection bias from there being too many avg UI open source tools?

Engineer-designed = low budget = no expertise on UX etc.. but product fulfills their purpose.

Open source tools have bad UX because great products require coherence and you can't get coherence out of democracies.

I notice that the only truly great open source products all have some kind of benevolent dictator at their helm
