I understand your point, but it's hard for me to believe that none of the
obviously very talented commercial programmers has the ability to design great
UI.  I know that there is at least some overlap in skills necessary to make a
great engine and UI skills.  My guess is simply that so much of their time and
energy is spent tweaking the engine, that there is nothing left for UI.
