I hate the weak excuse making for bad UX.
"It's VC money!" No it's not. There were proposals for starter packs by Black Mastodon users years ago. Of course they were ignored.
And as I've pointed out, Inkscape is an open source project with good UX. You don't need money. You just need to care.
Dudes who sit around and obsess about writing great code, don't understand that designing great UX is the same thing. It just requires focus and caring.
