I don’t have much personal experience with GNOME so I can’t comment on that specifically, but I’ve worked on making a primarily dev-focussed product more friendly to marketers in an attempt to speed up their workflow. The problem was we did that based on out perception of how marketers think of the platform to drive the changes. Long story short, it made the devs more frustrated and it was still too technical for the marketers.
