Conversely, the average FOSS programmer has no idea how to either design for simplicity or document for the novice.

Yeah, being a novice in the FOSS scene can be extremely frustrating sometimes. It can very easily start feeling like you’re reading documentation for a plumbus, where every single sentence seems to introduce a new term you’re unfamiliar with. And it often assumes you’re already intimately familiar with how these new terms work. So even just reading the documentation for one specific thing often means having fifty different tabs open, as you also have to read documentation about a ton of dependencies or terms.

I actually think most of them do, it's just that the simple designs aren't universal enough to gain much traction in a FOSS community.
