I 100% agree with the sentiment of funding FOSS designers and developers, but the culture also needs to change a bit.

I’m under the belief that if a piece of software is hard to use than it needs to be, it just sucks.

I’ll be blunt, from what I’ve seen as a dev, many FOSS devs are too focused on writing code in their own little world than evaluating how useful their software actually is. This is fine, but they shouldn’t expect people to be able to use it or become surprised when people suggest UI changes.

On the other hand, I think we do expect way too much from FOSS devs sometimes. They are almost always doing this work FOR FREE and rarely get any donations, so it’s frustrating when people are constantly demanding new features.
