At first I hated the look of ios 7 ( the keyboard was awful and it was slow ), now after the 7.1 update I like it, as well as the new ios 7 features. 
Got a tip for us?

I know I'm late to this but iOS 5/6 was way faster and easy to use than 7

Yes it was, it didn't automatically highlight the search text.

Yes it never highlighted all of the text before automatically
What do you mean?? Nothing, it just stayed there and you easily click to the right of it to add text.
So when you tapped on the search field with something entered in it it automatically went to the end of it and simply stayed at the end of it?
Got it. Yeah, it would be nice if it worked that way in iOS 7. Not a deal breaker or anything, but would generally be better it seems.
I suspect lots of people do searches. I often fight with the search bar to let me type something without replacing what's already there. Sometimes it's easier to just modify it in the google page itself and search that way.
Yeah exactly, that's not how it should be. You should be able to use the search bar smoothly.
There are certainly other browsers you can try like Chrome, Mercury, Atomic, iCab, Puffin, Dolphin, and various other ones.

I don't have Twitter, so it doesn't show up for me. It doesn't seem like it'd be my thing, but from what I understand, it easily stays out of the way.
The last thing I need is to view more link-baits.
It's out of control.Bc, like most of my other annoyances, it gets in the way. It's way too close to "done", I constantly accidentally click it. Very annoying for such an unpopular infrequently used feature.
I don't use Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, Reading List, Airdrop, Newstand, Shared Calendars, Facebook integration, YouTube sharing, or Compass. They get in the way. Apple should remove those features.
:sarcasm
Almost none of those are placed directly on top of a frequently used feature.
When I bring up the share sheet, I accidentally tap the Facebook button instead of the twitter button.

No, it's not. Most of them are legitimate complaints and shouldn't detract from your blind worship of your device and refusal to acknowledge glaring flaws.
I love the phone but it has some seriously unnecessary flaws. It could and should be almost perfect.
How "could and should" it be almost perfect if everyone has a different idea of what "perfect" could and should be?
Your idea of "perfect" is not everyone's idea of "perfect." If you had your "perfect" iOS, many others would be on hear endlessly complaining, just as you are.
Battery life is a legitimate complaint. App crashes is a legitimate complaint. The music app is a legitimate complaint. The placement of the Shared Links button is nitpicking.
I'm not sure what you're referring to, or what hardware you're talking about.
Safari doesn't reload every tab on my iPad 2. It has to reload things frequently, but these things are all RAM starved. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary regarding iOS 7 in that regard.
As for Android...it's a gigantic disaster. If you must get one, PLEASE get a Nexus that runs stock Android, and not something like a Samsung thing that runs a years out of date OS, will maybe get one update (a year late) and then that's it. That entire ecosystem is just ready to become a massive malware playground LOL.
I also hate how programs can just do whatever they feel like. It at least tells you what they have access to, but unlike iOS you can't disable things individually.
At any rate, I've got a Nexus 7 and an iPad 2 and VASTLY prefer my iPad in nearly every way.
