> I trust software more if it's ugly

Interesting point and I was thinking if I believe the same, but I can't completely agree. Reason is there's a decent chunk of software outside of the "mainstream" app space where the UI is ugly and also broken, likely because the author isn't a great developer. I'm thinking engineering and research type apps. They have the kind of bugs where clicks do nothing, user feedback is faulty, wrong sequence of clicks causes a crash, and it makes me instantly distrust the entire product.
