Ardour, Blender, Pro-Tools, Autocad, these are examples of things that I believe are necessarily complex.

I wonder what you mean by "if it could leave behind the politics of commercial software development behind"? Most open source developers that I know make software that they actually want to use, not something that was built to satisfy some sales or marketing checklist.
