Assuming you're talking about the GIMP when you ask about precendence, at least there is a user interface designer since a couple of years (peter sikking, GIMP UI blog at http://blog.mmiworks.net/search/label/GIMP).
Most folks who drop by the GIMP developer mailing list with UI suggestions are not providing very high-quality feedback, is my understanding. Of course, the GIMP is a large project, and it's hard for "outsiders" to know where things are headed and how to fix things.
Most open source projects don't have the luxury of having a person dedicated to UI design, which of course can be problematic for modern "UI-intense" applications.
