I 100% agree with the sentiment of funding FOSS designers and developers, but the culture also needs to change a bit.
I’m under the belief that if a piece of software is hard to use than it needs to be, it just sucks.
I’ll be blunt, from what I’ve seen as a dev, many FOSS devs are too focused on writing code in their own little world than evaluating how useful their software actually is. This is fine, but they shouldn’t expect people to be able to use it or become surprised when people suggest UI changes.

See GIMP vs Krita for example. GIMP’s (image editor) UI has one word to describe it. Awful. It doesn’t look like it was designed for humans.
Krita, while being designed as drawing program is still more usable than GIMP despite having slightly less features with image editing. It’s easier to learn and easy to figure out quite a bit on your own.
I don’t think you should have to read a manual to preform basic tasks in a GUI program like you do with gimp.
