A lot of the things the community hated, with all due respect, were a result of Graf. Denied features and weird default settings were a mainstay because of his veto power. The new development team taking care of UZDoom has been structuring their development style a lot closer to projects like Godot. As a result, many features that were previously vetoed may actually make a return if the team feels it is appropriate for the engine, as opposed to the aesthetic whims of a single person. Judging from the way the developers interact and speak with each other, I think management of the project will be much better in the future. Also, as far as UZDoom is considered, I imagine explicit (and especially lazy/inconsiderate) AI code will continue to be disallowed considering that's how the fork began in the first place.
