I think 95% of the team agrees with you, and I agree with you with time =)
Why? Because I do believe making it fully opensource would improve it a lot, but in some areas would still be the same (specially the UI design) as I believe you need a strong leader in some areas to keep the project in track and don't let it fall on the pitfall of trying to solve it all =)

But for the other famous attributes/advantages of being opensource (like listed in Cat. and the Baz.) I totally agree with you, so much that I do one of the things I find most important : treat users as your co-developers ! And here I am, daily, hourly gathering, sharing and doing whatever is possible to suit the app to people's need
