What is "ugly" software?

For me, the value of the interface depends on the purpose I have for that software.

For reference managers, for note taking, research tools, that I consider a very serious task, I don’t really care about the interface. I put the features (functionality) first. I don’t want to enjoy it; I want to accomplish my tasks with it.

But, for less serious tasks, like todo apps, I might prefer the software with better interface over the one with more features.
