I feel like it's not so much that there's a lack of good UI libraries (e.g. GTK, QT5), but rather a lack of good design. I've been using Linux exclusively since Windows 10 came out, and even big UI focussed projects like Gnome seem to make the most inexplicable design decisions. Anyone who has used Nautilus file manager for 10 minutes will know exactly what I'm talking about. Or look at the Gnome 'tracker' project: a technically elegant system that is completely unusable (unless you're comfortable writing cli SPARQL queries or interacting with the underlying sqlite database directly). To be clear, I don't mean to be pointing the finger or blaming anyone. Rather, I think there's an inherent (but by no means unsolvable) problem with large, volunteer-driven free software/open-source projects: how do you make these projects attractive to good designers, in the same way that they are attractive to good engineers and developers? This is just my gut feeling as someone who has used Linux daily for the past few years, so take with a big grain of salt...
