I like my #opensource software to be more robust by virtue of having less untested codepaths and being "done", instead of developers repeatedly burning out every few years when they inevitably have to rearchitect everything when XYZ component has changed in the middleware stack elsewhere.

From my perspective as a user, having software that is more easily maintained is just as beneficial as having simple-to-use software.
