I think ROS was/is an incredible boon for open-source and education, and Willow Garage did great work by creating such a strong community for it. Unfortunately, I don't think that ROS has kept up with the requirements of more modern robotics applications, and I personally haven't found that ROS2 is fixing most of my major gripes.
There are so many huge companies with massive robotics projects nowadays (i.e. warehouse robotics, self driving cars, etc) that I'd love to see the lessons learned there put into a next-generation open-source system. I know from experience that the stuff these companies have internally feels like a step-function improvement. Unfortunately I don't know how to get something like that off the ground.
