There are a lot of 'not-so-good-looking' Drupal sites out there.  
Without people who can make good looking Drupal (who may or may not  
also contribute modules), Drupal would not be picked up by bigger  
corporations/companies/organizations and Drupal would not be as  
popular. I haven't done vast research into this, but I am basing this  
off my experience. Getting a site to do what you want it to is only  
half the battle. Usability and design are necessity. One of the  
reasons I love Drupal is you can theme it so that it doesn't look  
like a content management system. That has been very important for  
our business and our clients. I believe that this would also be very  
important to developers/designers who are part of the community and  
receive funding from their clients to build contributed modules.
