Points for being a cross-platform Go-based UI toolkit. But as a desktop environment, the design is far behind Apple, Gnome-shell, MS, even KDE.
AFAIK, fyne is primarily a one man operation; I'm sure andrew would appreciate the help

More like there's obviously no designers on the team. There's plenty of tech out there to build on. Ideas to build on. No Web toolkit is going to look like a website from 20 years ago... This is dead in the water unless they can show something that looks like it was made in 2021.
"It's shit" is not constructive feedback. As the parent commenter said, this is a relatively UI toolkit, and this desktop environment implementation is even younger. It takes time and effort to tweak things and there's no need to be hostile to new efforts. Especially when you consider that Qt, Windows, GNOME etc all have had years and years to tweak their design, and have also been redesigned.

But they need to take some styling inspiration from, well, 2021. Even their icons on their website look old. That's a deal breaker for many. Why would you choose this over say, Flutter, when Flutter is also cross-platform and there's an obvious way to style Flutter apps? There's examples of good-looking Flutter apps...
I assume this just isn't possible, but it would be so great. I ultimately love windows, but I definitely do miss the customization options Linux gives you.
The inconsistent desktop environment problem is admittedly annoying, but creating another standard seems like a step backwards.

Weird this young project isn't as polished huge, mature and widely used projects.

Given what we've seen from modern "designers", I'm actually going to count that as a positive.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL NEW OPEN SOURCE DESKTOP
You're just doing yourself a disservice if you market yourself like that and can't deliver.
