I also suspect that many developers pay more attention to design that then 
even they appear to think or say.  Actually, I have no idea how much 
attention is paid to design.  I have always presumed that things like DCOP 
were actually designed.

What I have noticed is some instances where design was completely lacking. 
  This is much easier to spot. :-)  Sometimes it is a lack of design of the 
application's user interface, but sometimes it a lack of design of the most 
basic details of the program, or a basic method in the code that simply can 
never work.  Yes, I have specifics in mind but I'm not going to go into 
them now.  And they are not all KDE.
