Poll: Is donationcoder an iOS unfriendly environment?

Stephen66515 and 40hz prolly have the right of it.

Personally, I developed a distaste for Apple products in the early nineteen eighties.  Their product was way overpriced - if they'd had a reasonable price point, the IBM XT would never have got off the ground.  (And they still overcharge for their products.)  Then, later, I knew a few folk who developed software for the Apple hardware - and the hoops through which they had to jump were ghastly.  So I've never been able to develop any affinity for the Apple brand.  But, as mentioned, that's a personal thing, not necessarily relevant to the DC forums.  (And their walled garden penchant seems to be contagious  :P.)

I am grumpy that my iPhone won't do simple things like store files. (Not easily! There are apps that sneak around it all but they are work to use!) That's one reason I used to like cheap knockoff Chinese mp3 players - you could just plug them in and they'd store a 600 megs of music and say 200 megs of random files you just wanted to have around.

Apple made a very conscious decision no to allow very much file structure in iOS, and that annoys me because all of my quality computing runs on a file-oriented model. So yes, Iuse a cheap calculator app (wasn't that in Windows 1.0?) and a few random things, but wen I knuckle down to do work I don't like iOs at all.

Just a Tech Noobs opinion, I don't have a cell phone, text, tweet, facebook (maybe 1 day), but as far as the site goes. Everyone I have sent a message to has replied, and when I ask a stupid Noob question in forums someone always tries to help! NO your stupid, WHAT a DA, or the the dreaded your a NAZI stuff replies. I've been on a few that
all it is a giant click, or everyone raggs on someone.

I stopped even reading some forums as I got tired of being attacked for no reason, and got tired of reading constant attacks on people.

I'm not voting since there's no "IT SUCKS AND APPLE ARE BASTARDS THAT MUST DIE" option :P

Still, to give it credit, animation on iOS is far superior to Android or Windows.-Renegade (December 12, 2012, 09:47 PM)

Android yes (their graphics stack is horrible - Google made a bad choice in not designing with hardware acceleration from day 0), but Winphone no - at least the Winphones I've seen have been noticeably smoother than iOS (lumia800 class HW+OS and forward).
