Even more proprietary software that doesn't make it to Linux is written by people who don't seem to care about the end-user experience. I've spent enough time battling horrible programs on both OS X and various versions of Windows to know that this isn't unique to open source software.
Of course, on the proprietary platforms, the core programs--browsers, office, media...etc are all good. But that is true of Linux programs as well. And open source projects--even ones that are not terribly responsive--are still more responsive than most proprietary programs.
