One thing I notice from reading these updates is that there's a focus on new features, but very little on UX improvements. Gimp seems like a very powerful tool, but a lot of its power is incredibly hard to discover. As a casual user, I am regularly stumped in doing things that should be simple. I wonder if they should have a specific project to improve the UX.

Gimp is a design tool made by developers with some graphic design inclinations. That's why it's weird. I don't think you'll ever hear <<ANY>> actual, professional designer say "semantic name".
