Like the linked article says,

> Mobile devices were originally designed for consumption

... and will always be consumption devices.

A television isn't a substitute for your laptop either.

Phones, sure, but there’s plenty of good productivity and creation software available for tablets. And these days, most productivity software runs in the browser anyway.

Just because something is designed for consumption doesn’t mean we should ignore text editing.

The fact that there are other devices that are better at text editing is a horrible reason to leave text editing on mobile devices as a terrible experience.
