To be frank, I really have to eat crow here and laugh about my former self who celebrated his departure.
Nowadays I really wish he'd come back and take over. He might have had his disagreements with he who shall not be named, but he strikes me as one of the better visionaries for the company.
I don't know him personally, but just the fact that he was let go by the guy who changed Apple's direction so very much leads me to believe that he was in the way.
I doubt it was Apple Maps only, because in the end the launch of a service or product probably still needs Tim's signature as well.
@TOPIC:
Didn't like her appearance on last year's WWDC, but I'm sure that she's been very good at her other jobs.
As for Apple Music and iTunes marketing, I think that one had some very positive changes from before, but also some bad ones.
Overall I think that a good talent is leaving Apple and I wish her the very best for her future career.
