I have lots of thoughts - I made a platform for them and am partnering with various collaborators to see how they want to use it. Right now, you can import and visualize any PDB file, among other formats. There is also an open source plugin called UnityMol that has more standard molecular visualization features. My interests have always tended towards visualizing larger amounts of proteins together, so I'm not using it in my platform.

So yeah, there are lots of people working on little bits, all over the place, duplicating efforts again and again. In my opinion, what is needed is real funding and a coordinated effort to establish open source tooling, or at least some kind of platform that brings everyone together. And then more money on top of that ;)
