Isn't this the case for a lot of tools? For me Thunderbird is one of those - there's no better open source mail client to be found and you use it because it works (most of the time). The problem with this is that creating GUIs is very complicated as there's just too many different frameworks and specific stuff to know to achieve this. In my opinion interface design on computers is kind of broken just because there's no standard that works for every system. I don't want to implement things 4 or 5 times to get the same result. If I could I would contribute to those apps because I have good ideas for UX/UI but I'm nowhere near learning all the stuff I need to know to do so I'm afraid. Maybe when I'm really old and retire it's still as crappy as it is and I'll find the time. In the meanwhile at least we have tools like Calibre and Thunderbird and I'm very thankful for the work the Dev's put into them! :)
