All this "wAlLeD gArDeN!!!11" cries are so trite. People who want 3rd-party app stores are long gone to other platforms (me included).

My decisions to pick one platform over the other have nothing to do with something so subtle.

I kept both platforms for _years_...then in a time where I was actively looking for work, discovered that my Nexus phone and GoogleFi was sending folks to voicemail without actually ringing me through. When my phone can't phone, that's a pretty good reason to jump ship.

The processors are similar, the form-factors are similar, the OS's are at near feature parity...it's the glue that binds it all together that seems to time the scales slightly to Apple.

(Where did that SMS go? I swear, I can choose from 3 or 4 different places for it to do, and now I can't tell if it's in the SMS app, Messenger, GoogleChat...or?)

I’m a new Apple user because I was so fed up with the atrocious UX on other platforms. Yet I still expect normal freedoms.
