I like the idea of following the money, but I would argue that iOS is actually in a worse state than OS X. UIKit used to be AppKit's clean and modern sibling, now we have to struggle with bullshit like automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets, the n-th way of implementing view controller rotation, the duality of AutoLayout and struts & springs and an UITextView that gets worse instead of better. If you want to see some examples, follow @steipete on Twitter and look at the radars he files (I think there were 3-4 in December).
Or just start using a custom keyboard full-time on iOS 8. It's still bordering on unusable for me on iOS 8.1.1. I love the empty screen the App Store gives me when I want to write a review.
