This kind of resource never fails to intrigue me, and it reminds one of the
big weak spot of FOSS development that has been with us from the very
beginning.

In FOSS, developers write stuff that scratches their own itches, which is
why we have such a proliferation of window managers (and editors, and
source control, and languages, etc.) Yet stuff that is end-user-centric
that doesn't scratch any geek itches tends to go unserved or underserved in
FOSS, while proprietary solutions prevail because they scratch developer
itches with money. Just imagine if a small fraction of the talent used to
re-invent all these window managers had put its attention to giving Linux a
single fully-functional PDF editor.
