At least Windows doesn't display non-working app menu items, as

When was 'used to do'?  1998?

Actually, DFS showed this to be the case recently, and many times
over the last few years. This is not an old problem; it's a problem
Linux distributions have yet to iron out. The lack of polish is very
noticeable.

In other words, they don't look like Windows' apps.
 
That's all surface. More of DFS' GUI obsession.

It's not a matter of looking like Windows apps; it's that they often
look like something made by a blind 12-year-old. They ARE often ugly,
and there is really no denying that. However, they _do_ the job, and
that's what they should be evaluated on.

 
I'm denying that they're ugly. What applications are you talking about?
Maybe it's only the ones I don't use.

I already mentioned a few to Chris Ahlstrom like Calibre, GIMP and
Handbrake. Since I'm not using the system at this moment, I can't come up
with more yet.

Well that's... three. And I already spoke about Calibre (what's wrong with
its GUI?) and GIMP — which, like I said, has a LOT of features. I'm guessing
if I used it I would be able to learn it. But the same goes for PhotoShop,
which just looks like a confusing mess to me.

Far cry from ("the Linux GUI is ugly") that DuFuS claims. And, by the way,
Calibre is the same in Windows and MacOS (and more people use it in Windows
than they do in Linux).
