I am just hopeful other open sources devs takes inspiration from the work done here.

It has been my experience that major improvements to the UX of open source projects comes when someone who has been there the whole time leaves and new blood replaces them, often someone with commercial interest. FreeCAD got a major bump when Ondsel came in, for example. Ondsel didn't have a viable business model, "We'll take the crappy FOSS joke CAD app and sell cloud services for it" which I really hope didn't get them a single customer, and I'm really happy some of their money was deprived of them improving FreeCAD.

I don’t think there is much you can do to fix freecad. That said, it’s my go to cad software and the improvements while small are nice to have.

Well like, the actual smart dimension tool was nice, thanks for finally joining us in the 21st century. An actual assembly workbench, even if it is a bit jank, we finally got that out the door. My understanding is a big reason that was able to go through was some old blood departed. And I think that's a story that FOSS can tell over and over again, someone likes the code they wrote the way they wrote it for sentimental reasons even if it has the UX of a yeast infection.
