I hate any title that begins with why. Seriously, no one cares. People have opinions. Even seeing 'why' makes certain I will not read your article.
Let me guess the following without even reading...
* several paragraphs of whining about things that are just personal preference.
* making broad/generalized wide sweeping statements and stating them as fact
* tons of rhetorical questions followed by over simplified answers in support of the other product
* dripping with misguided enthusiasm, using lots of words in CAPS and BOLD.
- xigency 11y agoExcept you didn't read the article so you don't know that it is specifically related to web application development and not "things that are just personal preference." The article makes a list of web features that Apple has dropped from the iPhone or from Safari or has neglected to implement continuously over time, and provides real enthusiasm to developers.
- Aissen 11y agoIf he had titled "Android is currently the best mobile web platform", I'm not sure it would have been upvoted here and therefore less read. He made the right choice.
- petercooper 11y agoSeriously, no one cares. Except there are hundreds of comments, upvotes, discussions on Twitter, etc.
- dang 11y agoActually we often take leading "Why" out of titles here, so we'll do so above. It's a form of bait, as anyone who's read the first chapter of Cialdini's "Influence" knows. (I think it's the first chapter; the one that quotes a study that turned out to hinge on the word "because".) But that said, please don't post comments of pure grumpiness. It just makes this a sour place.
