I doubt the open source model only provides "cool apps" (I don't know if
fetchmail or apache are things I'd discuss with my "cool" friends).
However, the applications that open source developers do write are
what they themselves consider to be "cool" or useful. So, if you thnk an
OO Modeller is cool enough then get some like mind people together and
write one.
