Gruber spends more time doing his commentary on The Talk Show podcast and less on his blog. He's been consistently critical over the last few years; I too used to think he was a bit too favorable based on his writing, but since I started listening to his podcast, it's clear that he's much better at communicating orally.
>he doesn't like the iOS 7 redesign either. But I've not heard a bad word from him before today.
He was critical of iOS 7 from the start, felt it was wrong and wondering if it was Hardware Design taking over Software Design where the two have little to no overlap.
If he "don’t think Ive ever should have been put in control of software design", presumably he doesn't like the iOS 7 redesign either. But I've not heard a bad word from him before today.
