priority matters though, if you want to go full Apple with UI/UX then you need to lock the UI/UX for years, like Apple does, and refine every little thing to bring a fully ecstatic UX to the user. Or accept that most users won't notice that or wouldn't mind it behaving like that and build new features that will bring useful behaviours to the app (and revenue to the company). If you have to spend 50 hours to explain why it's a bug, most likely only you care about it. In some cases it may matter to be THAT precise with UI/UX and it's cool, not saying i don't appreciate quality but you can't have everything. One thing I'd like to point out is that most of the time it isn't even a matter of priority, lots of dev energy gets wasted in useless refactors and picking "the right library/framework" and building the "next outdated design library", instead of being used to improve things ;)



Apple does many things right but things like Mail.app got thrown to the side for years. There's still many odd utilities here and there that have not seen any love like grapher.
