I guess that's what makes it hard for me to comment on this. I don't really care much for flexibility or variety or freedom. I want something to work as well as it possibly can, and don't worry about tweaking it unless the tweaks make it run better. So Android doesn't interest me at all.

If that 'stuff' just happened to be exactly what you wanted then that would be fantastic. But that isn't reality. Reality is sometimes messy and complex so sometimes you need the ability to tweak things deal with the messy and complex problems from the real world.

- dejb 17y agoOh god. You aren't a real person are you? You're an Apple promo bot.
- davidw 17y ago> I don't really care much for flexibility or variety or freedom Phones definitely fall into the sphere of things I like to hack on. That's definitely the crux of the difference of opinions. I would agree with you when talking about, say, cars, but a computing device that I physically own is something I want access to.
