Such a bullshit comment. First an offhand "feeling" based on zero experience then a hearsay slander without any real information or references.

The question was why BB10 is not in the list, and that was a quick answer from my POV. If you want the long one: I do maintenance for older (OS4~7) BB apps so I have an interest in where the platform goes. I'm following the evolution of the new OS and SDK since the playbook to the alpha device and up to the Z10, but even after the bbconf workshops on webworks or the sessions on cascade I don't see a future for native dev on this platform, and most of our clients just want their android app ported to BB10. From the dev perspective, I don't see a good ROI in deeply learning the platform, so I'll be happy with watching over the shoulders of the guys dealing with it. Hearsay is OK for me when I see the support tickets flying around. Like there is no simple way to have the scroll position of a listview in cascades...that's just crazy when so many apps will be managing lists. As a user, I'm not in the target audience since they never bothered to add japanese input support, but I tried most of devices by pure curiosity. I genuinely wonder what particular feature is so well executed that you wanted to dismiss my opinion. I've seen some feature here and there that aren't bad, the focus on gestures is distinctive and there is a definitive push for a "modern" feel...but I'm not a big fan of the swipe up/down gestures, as actual content can be found near these areas, and it conflicts with other operations (like drawing on the screen). Even the task switching is tiresome at times, as app order is not fully predictable (or you have an excelent memory) Is there any aspect that is not decent but really great?
