It is not. If I were to offer a critique (and I have not) it would *not* be
intended for the (sole) benefit of the OSS community at all. The fact that
the OSS community belittles criticism from non-members doesn't surprise me.

Readers of this forum, going back many years, may recall that I have been
fighting against developer supremacy in the creation of software for over 15
years, both as a designer and developer.

The process of OSS app creation is overwhelmingly developer-driven. Until
and unless that's broken, not much will change with regards to UI/UX issues.
