* also people who didn’t find it appealing enough to notice. (Seemingly most, looking at the numbers.)

When developers assume qualified UI designers merely wield arbitrary personal preferences, FOSS loses.

- it buttresses a disdain and devaluation of the design discipline, in general

- developers feel entitled to obnoxiously impose their actual arbitrary personal preferences and folk knowledge on the fruit of someone’s intellectual discipline. It’s rarely an improvement.

- designers give up on a FOSS projects in general

- Your see conjecture and debate. Anyone who knows what they’re talking about sees Dunning and Kruger.
