Fair enough, and thats an interesting point, though I have my doubts about the relevance of the point.
First as an overall product and market strategy for a phone that's about as good an idea as making a mass market product designed for developers.
Second I think equating a handful of UI skinning enthusiasts as the whole of product and experience designers is perhaps going a bit far, no? Sure I'll admit I couldn't live without the Go launcher on my Android, but I'd still switch back to iPhone in heartbeat because the overall experience is still much smoother. Subjectively speaking anyways.
- radley 14y ago1) Isn't Linux is a successful mass market product designed for developers? 2) Where the best designers go, so follow consumers. Apple proved that, no?
- lucisferre 14y ago1) It isn't really mass market except in cases where someone has built some half decent UX on top of it. But yes the CLI tools are an amazing UX for developers, no developers are not a mass market 2) Again a handful of skinners (many of whom are really just sticking half naked women on the screen) are probably not representative of the whole of design or even the best of it.
