FWIW, lately I've been thinking the OG has been listening to user feedback too much. Time is being spent on minor issues that many complain about while bigger ones that don't get talked about much go unfixed.

User feedback is good to an extent, but it must not be taken literally. If 500 people posted saying "make the icons big & red" and only 5 disagreed, the feedback should be ignored. The majority of users don't know what makes good design or what makes a UI work. They simply give ideas based on what they think looks good.

Additionally, the volume of feedback should be compared to the actual impact of the item. Just because a lot of people talk about the buttons, doesn't mean it's more important than another item. Everyone sees the buttons, one way or another. So naturally there will be more feedback on the buttons.
