Why Free Software has poor usability, and how to improve it [Matthew Paul Thomas]
An update to his now-classic article "Why Free Software Usability Tends To Suck", now with a less-provocative title (because it's gotten a bit better in the past six years) and with fairly concrete suggestions on how to improve it.
