When we're talking about real-world programs, I assume we mean ERP (ala
SAP), POS, PDM, and accounting programs for the business world. 
Programs like this tend to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to
develop on an enterprise scale.  Most enterprises are less than willing
to invest in a project that doesn't meet the CEO's "staying power"
criterion.  "Staying power" is generally defined in CEO terms as a
healthy position on the stock exchange for at least a year.  There's a
real chicken & egg situation for this type of thing, and that's not
likely to be resolved anytime soon.

Yes, there's a real reluctance on the part of
open-source 
programmers to write "real-world" programs.
