Getting at least those three common nominators in order should be enough to create something that appeals for everyone.
Stability is a common element for all target users, but what functionality and
discoverability acttually mean depends highly on the target audience. For some
people a command line tool with a good man page is perfectly functional and
discoverable and a great user interface, for other people a GNOME UI or
something else works better.
There are not many absolutes in user interface design and knowing the audience
of the interface is an essential prerequisite for doing it well.
