New contributors are actually in a much better position to judge UI/UX because they are not used to all the idiosyncrasies of the software yet.

I have used Gimp regularly and still like it, but it is... different, and not in a good way.

The fiasco that is exporting / saving for example, clearly shows that core developers don't care about users much. Which is fine, but it is a shame. I have stopped recommending Gimp some time ago.
