Server software and programming languages have succeeded, but general desktop software has mostly failed.

I feel it's because the time and effort isn't put into actually making it user-friendly. Look at any apple product, for instance. It's so easy and intuitive and I don't need to play around with the command line to get something to work.

I use Linux and tons of open source software every day for running my business. I've tried to use pretty much every desktop version of Linux..but I always switch back to windows or mac. Why? It never feels finished to me. Random crashing, error messages that don't make sense, a horrible UI (that looks like a programming just threw it together with no thought).

There needs to be a movement of Open source UI and graphic designers.
