Not good given the obvious development effort that went into it, but the transparency is appreciated.
I suspect this is directly related to the extraordinarily difficult experience that comes with trying to accomplish technical work on iOS. Perhaps that will change as iOS matures. Personally I've tried to use even boring old ssh and vim from an iPad a handful of times and it's beyond frustrating, you'll never want a real keyboard and cursor more in your life.
- nine_k 9y agoI'm afraid iOS never "matures", except maybe by important user-facing parts of it being consumed by MacOS when it becomes viable on i-devices. iOS was designed with entirely different use cases in mind, entirely different workflows, and completely different users, those who prefer to never know words like "vim" or "ssh", and honestly have no need in either. It's a square peg in a round hole.
- dangoor 9y agoiOS has matured some and continues to do so. The Files app and drag and drop enhancements in iOS 11 are good examples of this. I don’t know if iOS will ever meet all of the use cases of a desktop OS, but it has definitely become capable of doing a lot more than it could a few years ago.
