I don't understand that sentiment. There are dozens of UIs on X. Some have had recent development and some haven't. A lot of the ones that haven't are still pretty usable, they're just kind of "done".

There are dozens of UIs on X and all of them behave pretty much the same way re: applications and file management. Hell, there isn't even a maintained spacial file manager anymore.
