Point not made. First time around I read this as "elitist devs looking down on other devs thinking the latter can't figure out a good UX", which instantly gets countered with "it is a skill issue alright, but with all the people who design to UX to be exactly that (looking at you too, Android)"

Ok, so this is about devs making software on their own and producing bad UX? Wow, news flash: most devs, even good ones, are not good UI/UX designers, that's a completely different skill

I don't think this is right. It's more like:

This software is so obscenely powerful that UX is irrelevant. If you want that power, you are going to learn how to use it. We're too busy making the software powerful to waste time making it accessible to people who can't be bothered expending the effort.

This is especially relevant in open-source. It's free software bro. Pick two ONLY: Free, Easy, Powerful
