Apple is better about clarity (or, being dogmatic if you prefer that view). You are right, MSFT has done a great job, but they made enough of a mess in the '00's that they kicked out their CEO and put in Nadella. Thankfully, Nadella seems to understand the importance of making things clear to make things simple for people. I hope to see that continue. Microsoft of the 90's still seems a long time ago (but sure looks like Apple today!) Developer quality of MSFT in the 90's and AAPL today is probably a wash (except for that everyone has been around computers for years now - that wasn't true in the 90's).
