And oddly enough, I find that they suck more as developers tries to make them suck less...

Developer and user definitions of "suck" are completely different.
But [thread] OP is correct. UIs absolutely do suck.
The proof is that after fifty years of UI design, there's still no such thing as a standard system/technique/anything for assessing the quality, reliability, and effectiveness of a user interface.
There's been almost no effective research into cataloguing the most common kinds of user error OR developer error and designing systems that minimise those errors.
There's a lot of tribal and religious noise about operating systems and languages, but virtually none of it is based on empirical research.
No, they're amazing machines and don't suck. They just don't meet our arbitrarily high expectations.
