My perception was always that the FOSS hopes of GiMP, Inkscape, etc flopped mainly because nobody in FOSS put work into UI/UX. So, it kind of makes sense that FOSS found a niche somewhere that UI/UX didn't matter.

Blender has also made huge strides in UI/UX in the past year, it actually feels like a proprietary product now, which will give it a much bigger chance in industry.

I wonder if there can be a push for UI/UX designers to contribute to open source Projects, I'm sure there's people out there who want to contribute...

GiMP UI/UX has actually improved a lot over where it was just a few years ago.
