It's definitely inconsistent, but I'd disagree with it being incoherent. IMO, Windows has done a fantastic job at making complex functionality accessible through reasonable GUIs.
My biggest issue is not that the interface is incoherent (and the consistency is a minor gripe to me). I struggle much more with _navigating_ the interface than interacting with any given dialog.
That said, I've never used Linux distro or macOS iteration that came anywhere close to making features accessible to users via graphic interfaces. GUIs may not always be the _best_ interface (that's another discussion), but you gotta hand it to Microsoft for how much work they've put in to get where they are when it comes to GUIs. I do not envy anyone tasked with "reskinning" it all.
