First of all, they won't get more popular than they are now. Second, I doubt any person who uses said software for professional or amateur reasons has the skills or time to cobble it together. Because they either do one thing or the other.
GIMP: "Groups of artists." See, there's your problem. As much as I despise Steve Jobs, I finally came to understand why he was so appreciated.
Libreoffice: What you said doesn't explain why Apache OpenOffice is still better. I do not expect an MS Office clone (although an MS Word clone would be welcome) but I do expect those writing the software to check out MS Word and point out why it is better... and then slowly but surely move in that direction, not away from it.
systemd: You can't compare an init system, which has the role of starting daemons and whatnot, to a kernel which is basically hardware drivers.
As for your perspective... if you are working for 0$ do not complain about lack of resources. You said it yourself, didn't you?
