Linux developers should first get their UI to the level of OS X's before they worry about hardware control.

No matter what linux devs do, to some....... it'll never be to the level of OS X.

Just as to some it's not to the level of windows either.

That's an exceedingly tall order.

To create something like that requires a tighter form of central control than the OpenSource community can likely agree to.

Also, most programmers are a rather utilitarian lot and go for function over form. Artsy fartsy kind of escapes us. (At least that's the category I'm in)
