Ultimately it just basically comes down to your fighting spirit and motivatedness to takeon the challenge--- of digging into lakhs of lines of code-- to find the few hundred relevant lines of code to change--- to make OpenOffice or GIMP or a free audio/video editing tool work more smoothly. Me and my company, having been into product development work-- do this for a living-- though not often on linux. Ultimately-- it's my opinion, based on experience-- that more than converting or educating newbies-- our ability and willingness to think in terms of products- will play a big role in fostering growth of free software.
