> Android simply does most thing UI better.
I almost spat out my coffee reading this. Android is horribly inconsistent, apps targeting different API levels get different default themes and UI elements, many built-in UI controls are ugly (which is why not many developers seem to stick with them) and the whole thing is made worse by manufacturers who can't leave good alone and "skin" their own launchers and equivalents to the default built-in apps. Scrolling behaviour on Android still sucks, putting everything behind "hamburger menus" is not intuitive and quite often apps just lack basic gestures. The gestures that are implemented don't even provide particularly good feedback — the little bouncy arrow thing when sliding in from the left to "go back" is awful and nowhere near as good of a visual cue as sliding-over is (like iOS does).
That's not to say that iOS design is perfect — it isn't by any stretch. It's a damn sight more consistent and predictable though and much easier to explain to non-technical users.
