THIS right there is what seems to be the core issue at Apple these days:
It doesn't feel like they have anyone who uses their own products anymore (dogfooding.)
The one thing about Steve Jobs was that he was a user like us, sharing most of the same annoyances and frustrations and in a position to make the engineers do something about them.
