I could say the same for the "one hundred thousand buttons"* : that's something that exist in a lot of free software, yet this is a screenshot of Blender UI that has something like 15 years, and current (or even post 2.5) UI is very different. Yet this is not a general public software, but a specialized one. And compare it to the equivalent software in the proprietary world, they are way worse for some of them.
* yet I'd understand that's a bit different, and just an example.
