When we did the administration user experience survey with almost 900 respondents it helped to focus improvements in Drupal and many many user experience improvements were added for Drupal admins. Multiple comment administration and Blocks by Roles(now in 4.8) were obviously important but just not a priority for core developers until we had some data, not just opinion.
Drupal's roadmap is to win in the battle of the "easiest to use CMS wins" all else being equal.
The admin survey showed that fixing themes was the hardest thing to do for Drupal administrators. What we need are more anecdotes, similar to what Ber showed us so we start a parallel effort to PHPTemplate 2.0. Anecdotes can lead to designer interviews which can lead to broad surveys.
Broad surveys can lead to user centered design.
Ber if you want to do some interviews with designers to start a user centered design process that will merge with PHPTemplate 2.0 then that's interesting to me and CivicSpace will back those efforts.
