Shotgun full of buttons is your standard coder designed UI.

Many of the common alternatives are worse though, I prefer a shotgun full of buttons to many of the supposedly simpler systems unless they are very well thought out.

Good UI is very hard.

edit - to me, really good UI is simple shit like things that gather system stuff, then install while gathering user stuff. When that started coming in as standard with many linux installs, I almost wept ;)
