Draw internals are an absolute mess. I've tried to fix bugs in Draw multiple times and just ended up discouraged.

It took me around 3 months, full-time, to write an import filter for LibreOffice that still only kinda-sorta works. And it depended very little on the rest of the codebase.

I think you underestimate how complicated a modern office suite is, and how much years-old technical debt there is floating around in LibreOffice.
