In my years of using different operating systems, KDE Plasma has had the most consistent UI across the board.

Consistently ugly?

Breeze cleaned things up a bit, but almost all the apps have an „I made the UI in 5 minutes before I fall asleep“ vibe (namely because the spacings are all weird).

To be fair: That is very consistent.

You haven't used KDE Plasma as primary desktop for long time, have you?

The open source way of splitting out the actual utility into some command line thing, and then making a thin UI wrapper, seems to really improve consistency. Which, I guess, is unsurprising -- the open source community needed to make a UI on top of a chaotic ecosystem, so they actually had to deal with the problem up front. Windows skated by accidental consistency for quite a while.
