No. Coders do NOT as a rule understand usability. Interfaces put together by coders are generally horrible for anyone who isn't a coder, sometimes for anyone but THE coder who wrote it. They take the view "just learn how it works" or "once you learn these 35 key shortcuts it'll be fine".

The Libre interface is mainly only dated stylistically but most FOSS projects are far worse.

As a coder myself, I understand the value of using someone skilled at UI/UX and using graphic designers to make the functionality usable by casual users.
