Matthew P. Thomas, formerly a usability volunteer with Mozilla and now
doing it for pay for Canonical. He gets usability very well and is
extremely pointed and generally pretty accurate. Not perfect, but even
when he's wrong he's got a point.

It's very good for us to have someone officially saying about open
source interface horrors, "Dude, this sucks. And here's the paperwork
to that effect. Suck less and we pick your project over this other
one."
