Ugly open source software is my favorite because i know the feature set is gonna be freaking awesome. I remember when I first started to transition to open source as an idea 15 years ago, and the sometimes ugly software was hard to get used to at first, but then I realized the ugly software did so much more than the fancy windows stuff and i really started to get used to and even like the ugly stuff. It's designed to do the thing it was designed to do, and stays out of my way, fantastic!
I never said it was a bad thing. It's... Quirky. And I appreciate it. I love how useful it is, and how reliant I've become on it. I started donating to this project recently.
