I'm an advanced Linux user, using a user-centric, not a user-friendly distro. I'm an unskilled FreeBSD user, but nomadBSD is my user-friendly BSD-Ubuntu ;). IOW it comes with an OOTB working window manager and everything a desktop environment should provide. What features are missing? To my knowledge some software is not available by FLOSS and some FLOSS infrastructure is week. For some things to happen strict leadership is required, for some other things to happen a lot of money, domain related knowledge is required. For developing an audio plugin architecture money isn't necessarily required and only moderate domain related skills are required, but strict leadership and restrictions are a pro. If only a single GUI is available, the audio plugin architecture can't run into issues caused by different GUIs. If a leader doesn't allow to fork or start with something completely different, the focus of all developers stays on one audio plugin architecture. Sometimes money makes a difference, compare Google-Earth with Marble. It's self-explaining why money makes a difference here.
