It has a different style of UI (I wouldn't call it worse - just different and alien), but overall it's a VERY good open-source product.

Actually I've seen developers acknowledge the problem with the interface, but also explain why it is a problem.
See, they're programmers first, and they designed the UI for something they'd be comfortable using. The problem is that they get almost zero extensive feedback from real graphic designers, much less a volunteer or two to work with them on the UI design.
Dunno how things are lately though, but that's the last I heard :)
