    I dunno, I had iPhone in my hand for app development, and I wanted to shoot it out of the cannon into the sun.

    You have to understand the thinking process behind the UI, and it’s not ‘intuitive’ to everyone.

    And I just couldn’t use it, it drove me crazy.

      Switching OS is a pain. And when you aren’t using it as your daily driver, it just makes it worse. It took me a couple of weeks of exclusively using iOS for it to become comfortable. If I were using Android at the same time I doubt it would’ve ever stuck and I’d still be annoyed rather than quite comfortable and agile now.

        Not being able to do some things is the biggest blocker.

        Sideloading for instance. Photos disappearing inside the Photos app and not being in files is also weird. It just felt like I was a moron who couldn’t handle my own files.
