I enjoy ios 7 too on my 5S, but I have been too scred to upgrade my ipad 3. I made a thread and a good number of people in it said they had performance decrease. That is enough evidence for me not to do it.
Got a tip for us?

No that was Windows 3, then '95 then XP.

iOS 7 works absolutely fine on my iPad 3.
That in itself is why people screw themselves in the foot when they updated to iOS7 they think it's going to perfect first hand. They should have done more research or tinkled the ivories at the Apple store before the updating of their idevices.
I think the strategy is perfect aligned for Apple. They want to move forward with their products , services and software. It's only fair that you move with them. iOS6 is now obselete.
I don't see why Apple should have to change their policies just to suit a bunch of people who upgraded to to the newest OS and decided they don't like it because of a few bugs. Usually it takes a couple patches before everything is smooth. Happened with 6, and will happen with 7.
None if that would really tell people what their experience would be like with iOS 7 on their particular phone with their typical daily use of it. The only thing that would do it is actually having iOS 7 on their phone and using it on a regular daily basis for at least a few days.
So if people who dislike iOS7 would install iOS6 again, it would hinder progress. But if those people had researched iOS7 extensively and decided to not install iOS7 at all, it would not hinder progress. Did I get you right?
As long as Apple doesn't fix the major bugs and usability problems of iOS7, iOS6 can't become obsolete. My iPod just crashed again 15 minutes ago.
I hate iOS 7 on my iphone 5 so I am going to get the iphone 5s and see If maybe it's better.
Apple used to test out the software before they released it but they don't do that any more. I'm guessing that when I get my iphone 5s (silver) that iOS 7 will be optimized for that newer better device so in 2 weeks I'm getting my silver iphone 5s

What's wrong with it on your 5? In all seriousness it's smooth as silk on mine, battery is excellent too, I can't imagine how the 5S could run it any better to be honest.
It's just all part of the new business model. Force older devices to run slower thereby promoting people to spend more money upgrading their devices. And keep pushing out product updates frequently to make people feel the need to upgrade frequently. It's good business.
There was six Betas of it. Most of them included substantial changes. It runs perfectly well on my 4S and everyone I know who has a 5 has not had any issues either.
Have you tried the standard troubleshooting steps?
Mid-life crisis anyone?
I didn't like the idea of change at first. But now after using the new operating system for two weeks on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, I have to say, looking back, I see why I liked the old system, but it doesn't change that it is a dinosaur. The new system is only different in a few ways as far as functionality. The physical appearance of things are actually very nice and slimmed down. They trimmed the fat and it works. As far as people complaining about smaller lettering, font etc, Go into settings and navigate to ACCESSIBILITY and you can make the text bigger. Unfortunately not bolder. I like that the multitasking features didn't go away with the new upgrade, I love that. This system is very much apple! Look back at the very first Macintosh. What happened when the new Apple came to light, with a mouse by golly! Oh my gosh how I bet you'd all crap yourselves if you still had to use the DOS Macintosh why others used something of today! Just my experience, having grown up with Apple, I first used the Dinosaur in 3rd grade. Then our school was able to get the newest COLOR Apple! Wow! KidPix!! So, I've seen the development, having lived in a tech household. That's 25 years of experiencing change with the same company. Get used to change! It you don't, you might not be able to wake up tomorrow on a different day than today, and see the sunrise in a slightly different spot on the horizon too! Holy moley! Lookout!
P.S.
Not everything is great from Apple, but one thing I've never seen on any apple: a virus. Check Mate apple haters.

Knowing much of the people whining about it, probably zero.
Apple has gotten people so spoiled to thinking that everything will be perfect 100% of the time when it isn't the case.
I restored (as new) my iPhone 4 as a backup phone, and while it's not as snappy as the 5s, it works just fine. It's hardware from 2010--I don't expect much more from it.
Why, why, why? Any issues will continue to be incrementally worked out by Apples updates...as all the iOS's were before 7.

I'm not sure about that. When Apple "retardified" iTunes with the release of version 11, they never brought back features from version 10 demanded by power users.
A new iOS update was released a few days ago, but the music app is still a toy rather than the powerful tool it was up to iOS6. I'm beginning to consider the possibility that it could stay this bad.
