As a developer I use Android a lot. It's fine. I don't see what the big deal is.



Good, switch to it for a couple of years, use multiple vendors and then let everyone know how Android is a viable alternative to iOS.

"I want Apple to be forced into making the same choices that its competitors made because those competitors' devices are, collectively, a miserable hellscape," isn't the winning argument you seem to think it is.


Completely missing point of what I said and making a straw man out of it isn’t the gotcha moment you seem to think it is.

Okay, so what's the point of what you said? For reference, you said:

>Good, switch to it for a couple of years, use multiple vendors and then let everyone know how Android is a viable alternative to iOS.

What, then, is the point of what you said? You seem to believe that Android is not a viable alternative to iOS. What specific actions do you believe Apple should be required to take here?


I've been using it for years. It has its issues, but also has its strengths. The biggest issue these days is that Apple has built a walled garden around their messaging system. I can't fault Android for that.
