That's a fair point,

But there is a counter argument too.

i.e. the more commonly used applications that OFBiz makes available the
more likely it is that developers are going to consider it worth their
time to learn OFBiz.

I think this is an important point given the scale of the time
investment you are asking a developer to commit.
