There's a really cool project for the Organelle called Orac[1] that turns it into a super cool modular synthesizer. It's also available for Raspberry Pi and Bela Salt

I was expecting this to use some formats that aren't from 2012. It would be interesting to see a neural network that could decide text for more complex meme formats that trend on twitter and instagram.

It's not just design, there's also a heavy reliance on Mac only (or at least Mac and Windows only) pro video and audio programs. I will say though, I've always loved running Linux on desktops where this isn't the use case.
