Not having to be tied to the Apple ecosystem. It's the only reason I own slightly inferior Android devices.

- rickmb 14y agoPersonally, I consider Android devices a bit more than just slightly inferior, so I compensate for my continuing Apple-addiction by making sure all my data is in portable formats and either stored or backed up outside the Apple ecosystem. I can ditch Apple within 24 hours if need be. Ironically, it was using Windows until the late 90s before moving to Linux that taught me the value of avoiding vendor lock-in. Of course, this means forgoing some of the wonderful features Apple offers in exchange for some less elegant solution, but I can live with that.
