There are several other ways to get feedback.

For example, user testing. I'm sure all the major distributions have done
some user testing. Most large companies have a whole user testing
team/group.

I'm not a user testing expert but it involves giving people (both new and
experienced) tasks to do, watching how they do it (without interfering) and
then asking them about their experience.

I know people who have successfully used http://www.usertesting.com/ for web
sites. I don't know if a similar, inexpensive option exists for desktop
software or not.
