Are you on a 5? My five doesn't lag at all and works well. My 4 would lag during keyboard entry and few other places but was usable.
Yes, 5. Most people are too dull to see the details.

The big issue is that for the most part all apple did was reskin the OS. What it really needed was features like widgets, custom keyboards, file system access, an interapp sharing api like androids, and a better way to organize your home screens. (desktops plus a seperate app drawer with all apps in abc order) The all icons having to be on the desktop is a complete mess of clutter and makes it difficult to find rarely used apps.
Are you a software develop or have you talked to some and do they agree that this was just a re-skin without improved functionality? What exactly then are the 1500 new APIs Federighi mentioned in the keynote?
All back end stuff. 1500 new APIs is actually not much for an operating system update. Between android 2.3 and 4.0 there were over 3000 new API's and thousands more changed. The issue is that apple left all of these things out in the initial release of iOS so its now much harder to implement them. Android and windows phone implemented these things in version 1 so they are tightly integrated into the ecosystem. The android sharing engine(called intents) is extremely powerful and the percentage of apps that implement it is gigantic.
This belies the actual nature of development for each platform. It's really far easier and a more enjoyable experience to develop for iOS, and there are plenty of new APIs in iOS 7 that surpass Android. It's a powerful system.
the beta is garbage. epic garbage. its too buggy for me to do anything with. and it lags. lacking the signature aplple fluidness. to hell with it until the final release. i do like the new look though.

According to what? You can do so much more with android. Android is also open source which allows you to really dig down deep and understand how things really work.
For certain you can actually DO MORE, but development is a joy on iOS compared to Android. Apple really gives you all the tools you need and simplifies some stuff like adding a physics engine to your app. I haven't used the new Android Studio, but I get the impression that the development environments aren't on par with each other yet.

You need to be nice to us dull people.
It's not easy being dull.
When you're incredibly sharp and smart...it must be so hard to put up with us dullards.
Try to be patient...

I am sick and tired of people complaining about iOS 7. The majority of you whom "hate" the new design asked Apple for change, and its like as soon as you get your change, and your wishes for quick toggles, and true multitasking, and apps to be updated in the background etc etc, You all complain, and you complain for the most trivial of reasons. "Oh this iOS is so buggy and laggy" IT'S CALLED A ********* BETA for a REASON. The same reason apps are crashing, and Springboard is crashing, If you aren't an Apple Developer don't install something that isn't meant for YOU. Also complaints about the icons, How "ugly" they look, So WHAT? You all have been complaining for the past 6 revisions of iOS how it is looking DATED, and UGLY, and now because there is a change you want Apple to go and switch it BACK? HECK NO. The icons are perfectly fine, and if you don't like them, or see the vision you can LEAVE. I am pretty sure this design can attract people to switch just as much as many of you want to rant and complain about leaving. Go ahead and leave, Apple won't miss you, and I am sure they will gain more people as they move forward. Saying 7.0 is the worst to date is something you are judging from a BETA that has been in use for FOUR DAYS. iOS has MATURED with This release adding features a lot of people have asked for, Animated Wallpapers, Control Center, True Multitasking, Better Weather app, New UI, Quick Toggles, Introduction to File Sharing via AirDrop, Dynamic Clock and Weather icons, The UI is Uniform on the inside, and it doesn't look like a clashing difference like it's past revisions. So Hop off it.
My analogy or your? As there was nothing analogical in my post, I'm guessing you meant yours. But if you want to use that analogy; if you ever listen to Radio 5, you'll know that after every match hundreds of fans call in to not just say "Team X was cr4p" - they (usually) give reasoned thinking and suggest alternative tactics and formations of how, if they were manager, they would have played the game. Whether they are right or wrong isn't the point - it's called constructive criticism.
As for your second paragraph - no, I'm not saying that.
I know, you Apple fanboys are going to yell because "it's only a beta", but I've had enough. I've had an iPhone since the original, and I expected a large change this year, but this is ridiculous. The changes they made are HORRID. Apart from Control Center, every single change is for the worse. They favored design over usability in MANY cases and the design is still the ugliest user interface on a large scale mass-market operating system since Windows 2000. It is honestly terrible. This is coming from someone who used to love Apple, it is horrible. I'm downgrading to iOS 6, waiting for my upgrade and going to Android. The icons look horrible, too much white, the homescreen looks like crap, there isn't enough distinction between different lines, notification center is for NOTIFICATIONS, not the calendar.
Just no.
Jony Ive: THIS SUCKS.
I agree with you completely. And many developers at Apple agree with you -- There was a huge backlash to Jony Ive and his "minimalist" design approach. Do a google search and you will find numerous articles regarding this.
All of the core apps are absolutely hideous. The Phone, Mail, Reminders, Music apps, etc., are all white with small hard to read grey text on the buttons. The button icons look like they were designed by my 4 year old. Anyone who thinks this is an improvement is drunk on Apple juice!
As much as I am entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, I am currently researching how well Android plays with Apple, and so far it's looking promising. I hate iOS 7 so much, and it is such a step backwards in usability, I am seriously considering getting an Android phone.
