I agree on consistency. It does have vision and it is consistently implemented.
It has different problems. It doesn't play well with apps written not for it, it doesn't allow for a good deal of customisation, and full of bugs and questionable decisions. All the UI stuff is subjective, but bugs and unresponsiveness isn't.
Eh can't really blame it for not being more open I think to customisation, it is an issue but not really a UX one I think. Any UI could be faulted for that then, not being customisable enough. As for apps not written for it again, not something they have control over. Could say the same about any DE, or even Mac or windows when they use non standard blocks
What else could it be if not UX. Not being able to setup a shortcut for the keyboard layout change without a bunch of bullshit hoops is an eXperience I have as a User.
Yes, it's a metric by which we measure the experience. Sometimes things should and could be easily customisable, and if they aren't, it's a fault of the UI.
If they're making a window manager, they need to consider apps that user might run with this window manager. If for example a browser doesn't render half of the internet correctly because they added an unexpected rendering conventions, it's a shit browser. Same could be said about desktop environment.
Other DE expected to run apps, Gnome expects that you write your app with Gnome in mind, that's a big difference.
