I agree. But the nature of open source means that you can't force someone to work on something, unlike a job. And for whatever reason, open source seems to attract people that would rather be principled and split a project into two barely viable one's, rather than be receptive to feedback, compromise / find common ground and work together to something better.
GIMP is the best example of this. Years back a few devs tried to get it renamed from GNU Image Manipulation Program to GNU Libre Image Manipulation Program (GLIMP), because multiple people found it embarassing or even got shot down by their boss for suggesting to use and donate to a program named GIMP.
What happened? GIMP devs did a big nuh-uh, dug in their heels, and the other devs forked GIMP into GLIMP for a while. GlIMP is no longer maintained now, and GIMP still gets scraps for funding :)
