  Good point. I'm not sure I'm the right person to make such a summary. Perhaps 
@Charlie_WMDE and @Jakob_WMDE are more prepared to do so? In any case, in my 
opinion the main properties that need to be available are:
  
  - Construction of the query in a sequence that maps to the user's natural 
thought process, rather than to the SPARQL syntax (so yeah, starting with the 
first item to be searched rather than with properties, for example)
  - Easy access to custom helpers for common query requirements (such as "all 
instances and subclasses", "all locations and sublocations", etc.)
  - Access to advanced features (e.g. to combine queries with UNION, MINUS, 
etc.) in a way that doesn't clutter the interface (e.g. collapsed by default)
  - Usage of common terms rather than SPARQL-specific jargon
  - Visibility of human-readable labels as the primary way to identify query 
elements, but with the underlying QIDs/PIDs also available (e.g. as text with a 
small font, or tooltips, etc.)
  - All UI elements featuring help text in tooltips/popups or otherwise.
  
  These are mostly from the top of my head. I'll add more items if I think of 
more.

  For now, just me, in the context of T223853 
. I hope that work can be the start 
of more extensive testing :)
