Yes, by those who know what it really means. To do it right, you must
observe the targeted audience doing what they do irrespective of an
application, devise a model targered user, then design the GUI (and
the rest of the program) to function within how that user does what
they do. Doing it after it is designed is not much more than the
equivalent of copy editing.

The problem with doing it your way is that your changes can only be
superficial. I doubt if he would be willing to change the application
at its most fundamental level.
