Heh, maybe it's just the months of pent up frustration that I can't express in real life. Perhaps if I was bit a more abrasive in real life, I'd be more rational here instead of ranting incoherently.

Why does any criticism of Apple devices generally devolves into "but Android does it too", I expected better than fanboy-ism from the HN crowd. The OP's comment was that any mobile devices these days, both Android and iOS are

Switching between CMD/Ctrl is really weird for someone who has used Win/Linux all their life, where most of the major shortcuts use Ctrl. To be fair I wouldn't really count this as a negative, this is probably very far down i
