I don't mind the discussion as long as there's some hint of intelligence to it. My problem is that people are so stuck in this "here and now" mentality that they can't think outside of the box even a little bit. Example: the banter about the "flat" UI. Did anyone even consider that a design can not be skeuomorphic and ALSO not be flat? The flat interface is Google's and Microsoft's thing -- why would Apple copy it directly, ESPECIALLY when there are well-documented UX issues with flat interfaces? The fact that people have already 1) claimed to know exactly the path that Apple is taking and 2) have already made opinions about said path is what is entirely frustrating.
