" Was I the only one that missed the part where the article explains why "It's Still the Platform to Beat"? " I don't think you missed it; I think you dismissed or disagreed with it. It's here: iOS has undeniably great, intuitive touch-based gestures and a straightforward layout. And here: “It’s that simplicity, combined with a deep developer and app ecosystem, that really has given iOS its power with users.” And here: One of the biggest benefits of the current iOS platform, from a developer standpoint, is that no matter what type of app you’re creating, you can find a few hundred existing examples of what works. And that isn’t always true on other platforms For example, WNM Live CEO Brian Hamachek said when his company decided to create a Windows Phone app, there was “not much we could use as a basis for how it should be laid out, we had to come out with own path — which can be a little risky.” As for Android, Hamachek said it’s “like the wild west” and that there really isn’t much of a standard user interface to go off of, which isn’t good for devs or users. Apple’s human interface guidelines make it easy create an app that looks and feels like an iOS app.
