Quite true. I'm genuinely surprised how much progress Apple has made with iOS 11. The fact that they are giving users a file management app means they are finally ready to handle real work. With a really good Bluetooth keyboard....
Maybe you prefer whalemail, yousendit, or one of the other sign-up-free and get-ads-forever services for large attachments, and that's fine, they're not going away.
Neither is DropBox, for the time being. I'm both worried and excited about DropBox's new offerings and I'm all for it as long as they don't become Evernote and start selling backpacks and rebranded Fujitsu scanners. :(
Talking about how iOS is great for consumers but doesn't have a good keyboard is a bit tone deaf.
But if Non-Consumer, Workstation OS is what we want, then I value backward compatibility over everything else. Which means everything he wanted to remove are here to stay.
Having use the newest iPad Pro 10.5 ( along with iOS 11 beta ), the first few hours were pure Joy, after that were frustration and anger flooding in. Because what I realize, is this tiny little tablet, costing only half a Macbook Pro or even iMac, limited by Fanless design with lower TDP, 4GB of memory, no Dedicated GPU, likely much slower SSD, provides a MUCH better user experience then the Mac or Windows PC i have ever used, that is including the latest Macbook Pro.
Everything is fast and buttery smooth, even the Web Browsing experience is better. The only downside is you are limited touch screen and Keyboard. I have number of times wonder If I can attach a separate monitor to use it like Samsung Desktop Dock.
There are far too many backward compatibility to care for with both Windows and Mac. And this is similar to the discussion in the previous Software off Rails. People are less likely to spend time optimizing when it is working good enough out of the box.
