> This is the crux of the argument. That choice is bad, and the people who like Android actually like tinkering, and don't really like customization, and it's just wrong. I think you do qualify as a tinkerer, at least in comparison to most people I know who use phones. You have optimised your phone for your use by making technical choices, and it's probable that if improvements are made in the future, you will consider them and incorporate them into your workflow. Ten years ago, I used to optimise my Windows and Linux PC for my use. Made everything perfect — the way you describe. From the UI layout, associated tools, extensions. I would set it up and make it perfect, perhaps every year or two I would incorporate improvements or drastically change something. I was definitely a tinkerer, even though I went through long stretches of not touching a "perfect" setup.
