"Customization" and "flexibility" is the perpetual criticism, but it doesn't prove to be a value-add. How commercially successful are *NIX on front-end systems?
That's the thing about iOS. Apple decides on what they think a better user experience is and then people take it (and accept it). I'm not necessarily saying that's always a bad thing, but it is based on their perception. M$ (eg, W8/8.1) and Google (constant ending of applications) are just as guilty of this as well. But it's nice to have the ability to customize things to ways you want. You just have to live with the shortcomings of whatever ecosystem you choose.
