iOS 7 betas were not bad. I'm on an iPhone 4 though, so the betas had a lot less graphically intensive features enabled on it.

I always install the betas because I buy my iPhone on launch day every year, and am bored with it by the time summer comes around. Installing the betas and seeing the new features keeps me occupied until the new iPhones are released in the fall.
who said it would
This is a perfect example of "broken telephone" aka miscommunication
Crap that happens during beta still happen on final releases so what's the difference?
I hope they finally introduce the ability for categories in contacts but than again I wish that every year
Same pattern every year. Never understood why someone would install beta software and then be surprised when issues occur.

iOS 7 Adoption up to 87% Ahead of WWDC's Likely iOS 8 Announcement
I'm not sure you can say practically no one went with iOS 7 when clearly they're approaching 90% adoption of the OS.
Why would they. MS needs the buzz so any publicity is good for them.

I wonder what the breakdown is of the other 2%. Just sitting there thumbing there nose at all the updates.
The rest are the users who don't understand why there is a 1 badge over the settings icon.
Right, I was just replying in a sarcastic way to a post that was saying how much damage complaining during the beta period can do to a new iOS version--basically to imply that despite a good increase of all the complaints related to iOS 7 during its beta period and well after, it certainly hasn't suffered or been damaged given how many people are using it (whether it's because they want to or because they need to for one reason or another).
----------
I'm sure there are plenty who know all too well but are not doing anything about it because what they have is good for them and they don't want something different.

2%?
You should have been more clear in your post regarding this, on the internet its impossible to read body language and there were no other indications you were being sarcastic.
Windows users are used to bugs.
I get bugs on my Mac and I complain no less than I do on Windows.
