Well you could also say that the iPhone home screen looks like a bin of shiny colored glass children's toys were spilled onto the screen.
This type of criticism doesn't really help, because the vast majority of people seem to think both (metro, and iOS) look fine, if not great. What matters is how usable these phones/OS'es will turn out to be once people start trying them.
- mrdodge 14y agoThe critics think it looks great. I haven't heard anything positive, however, from normal people. Just my experience though.
- untog 14y agoEveryone I showed my WP phone to absolutely loved the look of it. Anecdotal evidence, for sure, but I'm of the impression that Metro is more or less universally well-regarded. The OS as a whole is a different story.
- jsz0 14y agoI like the visual style and even the home-screen but I am not sold on Metro actually being a good UI toolkit for applications. It may just be the immaturity of the platform at this point. It's just not even in the same ballpark of flexibility/power that you get for 'free' with Cocoa Touch. As a result a lot of the Metro apps I've used are just very basic and lacking features -- or they have to jump through hoops to make a UI workflow for powerful features. If you have any recommendations for Metro apps that are really pushing the limits of the UI framework I'd like to check them out.
