Building a community is just as difficult as building a customer base. This foolishness is the reason why excellent software developers toil away in obscurity. Just because you have something great doesn't mean that other people will think its great, understand it, use it, be able to support it.

Dont you mean "Just because you have something great doesn't mean that other people will need it or want it" ? To get someone dedicated enough to your project to do beta testing and submit patches would mean that they would first need and/or want to use it.
