Seriously, this is exactly what feel means, those little quirks few even notice. Thats what separates android and ios, windows and mac.

I recently started a thread about exactly this but its hard to get valid responses and input from people who just dont notice those little things. For you, something either works or dont, for others its important how good things work.

And that bug with multitasking - closing an app and scrolling to the last one - its real and it exists on every ios7 device, you just dont notice it, you dont 'feel' it. Youre lucky imo, youre easier to satisfy, those little things and unpolished, unsolid feel bothers me

I'm 100% with you on that. I completely agree that finess and polish and feel is what sets iOS and OS X apart from the competitors. It's the attention to detail and intuition that makes Apple what it is.

Like you I'm not easily satisfied. Using a full screen app (that removes the status bar) and trying to pull up control center is maddening. The speed of animations drives me crazy. I can go on for days about all the improvements iOS 7 needs, especially to "feel" as solid and simply as iOS 6 was.

What I'm arguing against is the idea that the feel of iOS 8 is better than that of iOS 7. That's all. I've used iOS B4 and it's not usable for me on a daily basis due to all the bugs and glitches. iOS 7 is. I'm sure once we get GM there will be a world of difference.
That's all I'm trying to say.

But hey, to each his own. Maybe the two posters here who have had similarly bad experiences with iOS 7 had poor installs. Who knows.

That picture is not a picture of the bug I described, that's just a different one I had on 7.1.2 that I was able to reproduce any time I wanted, and no longer can on 8.0

Not to beat a dead horse, but I was referring to the multitasking bug you mentioned.
