I will say, though, feedback has gotten to be the most frustrating experience I have. My tendency of late has been to edit articles that few are interested in. It took a really contentious FAC to get feedback on one FA I eventually finished up, and only because the three people who were so great to me during that process were great to me this time that another article I'm working on for FA has gotten any outside feedback. I doubt it's just me, but if your areas of interest aren't in the mainstream, it's a constant struggle to even find someone to check your grammar, let alone improve something.
Peer review is fairly close to a waste, GA doesn't really review much of anything, and FAC is the only place I've ever gotten decent feedback from a group, and that's not what FAC is for. Extremely frustrating.
While feedback is nice, and sometimes you would like the intellectual stimulation of having some points challenged it can also be a question of how much you expect out of your writing. It is evidently important for you to bring an article into feature status, but I prefer to move on when I'm satisfied with what I've done. I can leave bringing an article to that status to others.
