As a programmer, I like programs like this, because I am weird.
But Ubuntu and Firefox and Android are not actually designed for programmers, and that's why they suck for us too. They're designed by programmers, but condescendingly for hypothetical users, with decisions steered by ideological freetard wankery.
This kind of software suck if you're a programmer, and they suck if you just want to use them. They only end up being good for what I pejoratively call 'power users', the asshats with an inflated confidence in their abilities to mouse around clicking through wizards, tweaking for its own sake. They're the ones that install themes, participate in user communities, and make everything suck.
