EMUI is terrible, if only they would make it easy to run stock Android.

Yep. It shows that Huawei, at least those UI developers, fundamentally do not understand how OSes work. EMUI, when you invoke the switch window function, has a single button to kill all running processes (or activities or whatever Android calls them). Hitting it by accident is easy. And once you do so, the UI proclaims with glee how much memory it freed up. Even when, on my phone, I've never seen free mem under 800MB.

Are there any non-US companies that do well in creating UIs?
