Blender is an example of a project that is laser focused on their users. Every aspect of their development is guided by that focus. The Open Movie projects are a way of ensuring that what they work on is something that professionals need. You can what you want about blender but their continuing growth in industry demonstrates that their focus is paying off. They are quite literally closing the gap with tools like Maya at ridiculous speeds.

IMO it is however easier than other "desktop" applications, because it has an narrower focus, like Krita. Some applications are easier to focus than others (where usage patterns may vary wildly).
You got my point :-)
