Adding to what John said, Airbus don't believe in the need for force or control movement feedback - so far as am aware however Boeing do.
Designers will often "tweak" artifical feel - for example if there is a corner of the envelope to which you should not routinely go (the stall for example) but which must be reachable they may design a steep increase in control forces so that you can get there if you wish - but certainly won't do so by accident.
