But good looking UI is not an essential feature. It just makes things easier on the eyes.
That notwithstanding, it seems that no one will give a chance to an MVP that excludes this non-essential feature of good looking UI.
So this applies to UI. UX is only slightly different. A user can still test and benefit from your product even if it is a little unintuitive or unfriendly, but that is unnecessary friction.
So in the end, my recent experience tells me to keep UX simple and easy to use and the UI beautiful before pitching an MVP to anyone.
