That's not the experience I've had. An example: it's been over 6 years and they still haven't made it possible for me to set the clock display to a 24 hour clock. The only solution is to change the language to UK English. They can't even bother to use my locale settings. I used to keep up on the thread tracking this issue. They don't care enough to fix it.
