The inability to manipulate most objects on iOS in any meaningful way is a big part of what killed it for me. Everything on my network is just an scp away now. No dumb hacks to deal with some retarded Cupertino PM's idea of how computing should work.

No escape hatches turns walled gardens first into a jail and then into a brig on a sinking ship.

You can't comment like this on Hacker News, no matter how right you are or think you are. It's not what HN is for and it destroys what it is for.
