I think the most common complaint of people using Linux CLI or GUI

Are they taking Microsoft, of all people, as arbiters of good taste?

There are definitely more people out there who are fans of the Microsoft
aesthetics than there are people who appreciate the dated interfaces of
open-source software. All of them will admit that the "ugly" software
still does the job, but it appears that the way a program looks is as
important as whether it completes the task.
I don't admit it. And I don't like the Windows "aesthetic." I do find it a
bit amusing that Windows' users simultaneously claim that 1) Linux copies
the Windows desktop and 2) It has a dated interface.
Actually Linux has a LOT of interfaces. Windows only has one, and it's
"dated" and ugly in my opinion.
