If you want out of control UIs from an out of control mobile OS, you are more than free to buy a OnePlus One or a Samsung Galaxy.
lol I love apologists like you. Having a simple box in which you can type and save notes is now "out of control."
I guess if you want an OS made to look at instead of actually use, get an iPhone.

I think it's a worthwhile "War". If an app is THAT important to a user, stick it in the dock!
Pity Apple didn't get it straight from the outset, however. Would've saved them a black eye.
Well then you'd better have no more than four important apps. Otherwise, may God help your soul 'cause Apple won't.
