Hmm, so hackers don't use DEs? If something "doesn't look good" it's "for hackers"?
If "fixing it for users" means it will feel cumbersome to use for more advanced users, there is no point to do it. There is already one KDE.
Also, I have always been so optimistic I have believed many "normal users" will become "advanced users" at some point. To me "advanced users" are not kernel hackers, just people who already know what they want to do and do it efficiently.
I'm not saying we don't need newbie stuff, linux has to have more user-friendly choices if it wants to conquer the desktop. I just want to ensure advanced users won't be forgotten.
