Please do not get me wrong! I want that this project will be a success. Maybe last it have been better if the iota-Foundation had accepted Bitcoin instead of IOTA. If the project fails at the beginning, the Foundation has no money to repair the software.

I also suggested accepting bitcoin. I think having both options would optimize the will to colaborate in the community. Some people may have a small stake( to their regret) from which they cant donate much, and would rather do it with btc.
And as David says, "for the real world", btc or $$ is what you will need for common expenses.

About the GUI, they ve been transparent all along. Just unlucky or bad choice with who the work was put on, but we were all aware while it happened.

Problem with accepting only BTC is that it lasts quite shortly, I.E. it does not increase in value with the result of the foundation. With iota it is a direct relationship.

As for GUI choices: I'd like to see anyone look at www.creativeda.sh who is on the top of most popular posts on www.dribbble.com and www.behance.net, who has clients like Adobe and Nike, and conclude "these will probably waste a month of our time and then announce they lost their developer". If anyone here could see such a thing coming: I want to hire you permanently as my oracle.
