I don’t think a FOSS user facing product can actually work well. The ones that I found that worked very well (aesprite) actually just seemed to be founded by a single team that barely had any outside contributions. Basically they could’ve gone proprietary. And I think it has to do with the nature of humans actually. Those in a company or team feel part of the tribe and are more than likely to feel good when they contribute. While a random person looking to contribute into some FOSS project would see it as some mountain.
