Missing "fluff" is not the problem. The problem is this: When the next killer app comes out, whatever it is, you may want to use it -- but it is very unlikely to be available on Windows Phone.

However, want and need are very different. I may desire an app, but not having it can make me better off. For instance, look here at the selfie deaths:

This may seem ridiculous but that's what these apps are doing to people. :)

Interesting attitude. People kill themselves with toasters too. Would that dissuade you from using one?

Are you really trying to defend less choice?

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

More like, when life gives you lemons, criticize the intelligence of people who have apples.

Why the downvote? This is a legit and conscious comment

Some person doesn't like Snapchat. Their dislike of Snapchat and inability to install it on their phone due to choice of platform has absolutely nothing to do with, and absolutely no influence on what phones other people buy or what apps they install on it.

I have an Android phone and it doesn't have Snapchat on it. I also have friends with varieties of phones, and Snapchat, and they're very intelligent. It's donwvoted because it's a pointless "get off my lawn comment" that says nothing other than "I look down on all Snapchat users".

It's unlikely that the absence of snapchat on Windows phone will improve literacy.
