Good Core + Good UI = Useful program
Good Core + Bad UI = Only useful for a handful of gurus willing to put up with it
Bad Core + Good UI = Fun to use but useless junk
Bad Core + Bad GUI = Useless junk

The only good combination is to have both a good core and a good interface.
The core *HAS* to be good. If the infrastructure is bad, no interface will save it.
An example of a good core with a bad ui is the 'sed' utility in **nix Operating Systems. The syntax is so cryptic that it takes 3 hours reading the manual every time you try to use it. That makes a very powerful regex engine only useful to a few people that have the patience, and makes people who actually use it a lot less productive than they could be.
