In a lot of cases it's only functional in the sense that it performs a function. To me functional but ugly implies a certain sort of delusion that while it might look ugly, it is really efficient to interact with, so therefore, it doesn't need to look nice. This is often not the case though. A lot of these developer designed interfaces end up being confusing, hard to navigate, and ugly.
