> I don't think it's true that OSS devs don't value design. Maybe 20 years ago there was a bit of vestigial dismissiveness.

I'm not sure, I still see this dismissiveness. Hell, open any HN thread about design and see how many will ask what designers even do all day, or talk about them as if they're "less than" developers.

Well, everybody was a web designer 20 years ago. Nowadays we've got people who are actually good at graphical and frontend design and have actually studied their discipline. My scepticism dropped a few notches the first time I got to work with some people who really knew what they are doing and saw the value they bring and how they can save a lot of time and excruciatingly bad experimentation.
