IDK why this always gets downvoted. UI/UX some of the biggest issues with FOSS software, and is a massive barrier to entry to someone who isn't a massive computer nerd willing to put up with that shit.
I guess they take any criticism of open source as if you are against the whole movement. I don't understand either.
honestly i don't even think it's a FOSS problem, this is a problem with every UI ever made in the last three years essentially.
Unless it's literally making money off of you having an account, there is no incentive to design a good UI from the ground up. The solution here ironically, is simply don't skill issue, or document it very well.
