> Why do these important sites never get actual user feedback before forcing out a major update as a big "surprise" ?

The people behind the redesign do so for career, resume & portfolio reasons - they are very unlikely to ever use MDN themselves so they don't care and don't see the problem. You can't rely on user feedback because there's a very high risk users will tell you everything is fine and there's no need for you to mess with anything.

So...they should change their tagline to: Resources for Developers, by UI Designers

Damn, it sure would be terrible to keep the UI the same even when the users say it’s, you know, fine the way it is. Ugh.
