Same here. Spark is an excellent mail client for Mac. But I do not like Spark mobile app's UI. It is not as clean as the Mac App.

In Twitter, I see more hatred in the replies than in the original posts. My rule of thumb is to not read the replies in Twitter (applies to most public forums except HN). I still feel original posts on Twitter are good, as it is purely based on whom you follow.

I feel WeWork spaces are costlier in Bangalore, compared to the other co working spaces. I have looked around co-working spaces (mostly remodelled houses) which provides a quiet workspace with basic amenities for one third of WeWork's price.

You are bang on point about renting a place on your own. Absolute nightmare in Bangalore.

Though Apple is lagging behind in innovative features in recent times, I think they are at a higher level because of the excellent hardware that complements their software and vice versa.
