Really not, a lot of people seem to hate the unmodified Equalizer APO but I really like it, or when it comes to converting an image strip to a gif, people use god knows what software, I like to use Image Magick, sure, you have to work in a CMD window in a command line, but I couldn't care less, if you do it right the result is awesome. I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER sacrarice functionality for a UX optimised program, besides Marketing people, UX designers are my worst enemy, it's just that people got lazy and stupid and can't figure out how things work if it isn't directly handed to them on a silver plate, which often means sacraficing a lot of functionality, that's also why almost every company only give you a 3-band EQ, the average user would have absolutely no idea what they should do if they got a full blown Parametric EQ handed to them, if the documentation is good it doesn't take more than a bit of common sense and a few minutes if reading to figure out how things work, sure, it's annoying at the beginning but it'll make your life 10x easier in the long run, I have UX in university and I hate absolutely everything we are learning there, quite literally the opposite of what I would do

That‘s you and me but not every body in the word is a technician and wants to deep dive into something he just quickly needs.

Have you read what I‘ve written? ‚Form follows function’ and not the other way around as you are suggesting.

Yeah, I know, that's what you are supposed to do, but that's also not what I want to do, and if it means getting a terrible experience for 90% of users but getting an awesome experience for the other 10% of users who like being able to do whatever they want then that's a sacrifice I am willing to make

"But look at all these features!" isn't an excuse for a bad UI. I'll gladly take features over UX any day since most of the time you can just simply get used to it, but that's not gonna stop me from bashing how terrible something looks.
