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?
