Sure but Rome wasn't built in a day
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_wasn%27t_built_in_a_day>. We have
80,000 lines of code between stable-1.1 and stable-1.2 right now. We have
over 600 files updated and that doesn't touch our website
<https://github.com/LMMS/lmms.io/pull/138/files>.
I worked with a professional musician on the Speck of Dust track
<http://lmmsartists.bandcamp.com/track/speck-of-dust> and she told us no
one would take us seriously unless we switched our DAW. She was appalled
it wasn't offered for Mac and didn't understand how we would ever master
our track unless it was made with a commercial DAW.
This inspired me to switch to Ableton for 3 months. I realized --
although stability and performance were better -- the actual creative
process in the DAW was actually worse for myself and the musicians I was
working with.
Since then, we've added Mac support and we're on track to double our daily
software downloads from about this time last year.
We want your friends to like LMMS because we want our friends to like LMMS,
but we do really need help. Making a new theme is arguably more time and
effort than fixing these bugs we're working on (have you ever done vector
graphics?)

We have a lot of help by non-coders today. Most of us weren't coders when
we started either. :)
