At least you can drop it into a folder...... and we still can't delete Newsstand. So annoying. It's obviously here to stay, like it or not
But, I digress ....
Got a tip for us?

Well, I'll be darned. You're right. I was hiding it on a blank page before, so this is an improvement at least.
ios 7 -- Steve Jobs is definitely dead
There can be no doubt that Steve Jobs is dead! ios 7 would never have seen the light of day under Steve! This thing is pure crap. I have it now on both my iphone and my ipad and iit really sucks. The graphics are pathetic. The usability is a total disaster! This piece of crap SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!

Weird...my animations seem extremely fluid and 'quick'. I've certainly not seen one I couldn't 'beat' yet. IE, it finished animating before I'd even made it close to typing or making a 'point, decision.
What animation are you talking about? Serious question....
Which iPad are you using? I've only update our iPad 4. Haven't touched the '2' or mini yet. The iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 seem extremely fluid, quick, dynamic...whatever adjective you'd like...it just seems natural and solid. I've got over 260 apps on my phone so obviously haven't been able to try them all yet. However, my most used apps are excellent so far...with the exception of my 'local' bank app. It hadn't updated yet to the 5's resolution either...so I'm fine with checking balances on my browser.
Gotta say though....as an owner of every iOS device since the beginning, I'm loving the new UI. It's awesome. I'm not exaggerating. My son is digging it on his iPod touch (latest version)---again, it's extremely fluid on his too. I'm a bit curios about the mini though, I'll do a bit more research before moving forward.

Despite what everyone says on their iPads, iOS 7 runs perfectly on my iPad. It did even in Beta.
YMMV however.
I clearly spoke too soon.
iOS 7 is indeed quite pretty.
However, it features a whole host of rough edges.
1. movies load very, very slowly. Up to 20 seconds. That's just unacceptable.
2. music wouldn't work at all initially.
3. There seem to be quite a few instances where I'm waiting for a process to start
4. minor lags with the UI.
It probably was released about 2-3 weeks before it should have been. But they needed to have this 'done' by a specific date and so it's not as polished as a GM should be.
Apple's long slide into mediocrity continues...

You clearly don't remember most iOS releases but 2.0 was rough for three months; it's been one day.
I reserve the right to come back and gripe if/when I find a bug or minor issue however.
Good thing you put this asterisk in your OP mackandproud!
Took less than 5 hours for the shine of iOS 7 to wear off for ya' eh?
I've been running iOS 7 since beta 3, and it seems perfect to me. You have to stop comparing it to previous versions. It's supposed to be different and radical. I wasn't the biggest fan when it was unveiled, but through using it for months, I would never go back to any other version of iOS. You just have to use it for more than one day.
I think a lot more tweaking will take place in the next few updates. It looks fresh but seems not use the strength of the beautiful screen resolution available.
I think it is good overall. Would like to see the swipe to delete more intuitive in mail.

not just 2.0, 1.0 was particularly bad for me as well. safari kept crashing when music was playing, and that took quite a while to get fixed.
I've only used 6 and 7. I'm used to a very polished, refined product for my iphone.
Of course I expect 7 to become significantly more refined over time. The lag is starting to bother me however.
Waiting 20 sec. for a movie to start up is unacceptable.
Multiple apps simply did not work at first; although each is now functional after powering down and restarting.
I wonder if I could've avoided some of these issues with a clean install rather than an update.
7 is working, but it feels more like an advanced beta than a polished ios.
"Perfect"? I can't even get Music, Podcasts, or Videos apps to even open, much less play their media?
I must say that I have been running iOS 7 betas on my mini and have been truly impressed with how well it has been working all the way through... at times it even worked better than my iPad 3 (which isn't bad by any means) but honestly to each their own.
A) Install beta 2 then tell me this feels like a beta.
B) You didn't setup as new so your opinion doesn't matter.
Yes. It somehow feels slower because some of the animations take more time to finish. To me, iOS 7 feels a bit like Mac OS X 10.0 must have felt: it shows great potential (and a lot of eye candy), but sometimes goes a little over the top. iOS 7 is good, and will only get better. They're just not there yet.
