Ubuntu ships with Gnome. That you can change it is actually the point I was making.
I replied to this:
respect for the user, consistency, customisability,"
With the statement that consistency is often at odds with customizability.
Your claim was this:
It’s almost like any app on any operating system is going to have a different gui!
Windows apps do not have as much inconsistency as apps on Linux because of the lack of customizablity. A Windows developer has to go out of their way to avoid the standard Windows libraries to make their app look unique. Linux apps are all different because there is no way to make them consistent. Even if you try to make your app consistent in say Gnome, someone is going to be running KDE.
Consistency is almost always at odd with customizability.
