This comment thread is why the internet is bashing so hard on HN. This is so extremely negative and hyperbolic, It's hard to understand. There are certainly things to be criticized in iOS 7, but invoking a plea to the holy lord for answers, is a bit extreme. Can't we at least temper our criticisms with a few things we found positive and a good attitude? Let me give it a try. I am really excited about the control panel. It has a lot of very useful features that will save me time and frustration. However, I am concerned that the design of the control panel is busy and may make it difficult to make the correct selection quickly, we'll see.

I have to agree. I was pleasantly surprised by the UI changes for iOS 7, as I think the developers at WWDC were as well (a standing ovation, no less - even from fanboys)

This isn't Apple's UI, it's everybody who owns an iDevice's UI, and it looks like people are taking this redesign quite personally...time to switch? :/

  I think I'd still prefer to look at iOS7 everyday than the turd of an interface that Android ships with

    Honestly, theyre starting to look very similar.

      Unless you've heavily modified your rooted android then yes. Otherwise, at least for me, iOS7 is so much more elegance and eye pleasing.

      +1 on stock Android 4.2 looking great and being very usable. +1 on iOS7 and stock Android 4.2 looking way too similar.

    Which specific Android UI are you talking about? Touchwiz? Sense? LG's UI? Sony's UI? Stock Android? Personally I can't talk about the other stuff but think stock Android looks and feels great while being extremely functional at the same time.

  ...especially because it seems natural that OS X will follow! Switching away from the iPhone is easy for me, iPad might be harder, but leaving OS X is just impossible for me right now.

I think the replies are symbolic of what commenting on HN has become in general.

Playing with the beta right now and the control panel is by far my favorite feature. It does look kind of busy at first with so many actions available, but the layout is well done and its easy to find what you are looking for.
