You don’t do good software design by committee. You do it best by having a dictator. From the user’s point of view, you must have a coherent design philosophy, and I don’t see how that could come about from open source software. The person who’s done it best is Steve Jobs, and he’s well-known for being a tyrant.

Rant: designers who open applications or windows fullscreen are thoughtless jerks.  What in the world makes you think that (a) I want that or (2) that my screens are the same size as yours (please note that I used the plural of screen - screens!)?

I don’t and they’re not.

Case in point: the Touch Product Line.
