I'm pretty confident that we're better off with a lot of (possibly dirty-handed) coders + some good maintainers than with the current situation where 3 spare-time coders do it all. The current situation does help for satisfying my personal need for eternal glory and unlimited kudos... We should keep in mind that we're all doing it for fun (I hope) and that most of us don't make a living out of this. Concentration of these spare-time development efforts would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be working that way. My personal feeling is that the initial effort to learn somebody else's code is the main bottleneck towards entering a project. Sometimes people think they can do it better, or that it will be easier to do a complete rewrite. And sometimes they are right (e.g. ZynAddSubFX).
