It's not really a matter of less experienced- it's a matter of laziness.
When the spots are squared up it's blatantly obvious who is parked dumb. With angled spots, it's easy to misjudged how far back in the spot you are, so guys tend to leave their dot bumpers over the line. The oak creek wi pilot is notorious for this. The spots aren't hard to get in if everonne perks correctly, but one guy thgriiws the whole row off.

Layout #2, then take two parking spaces from accessible ends and turn them into bobtail parking lined up perpendicular to the normal spots. This would convert 16 truck and trailer spaces into 48 truck only bobtail spaces, and it should also stop people from creating spots at the ends of the rows.

As long as the gap between the rows is ample, option 2 is the best.
As a day cab driver, I love angle spots. But both options one and three make for blind side angle backing at various points in the lot. Not a good idea for people in sleepers. -
