Why is everything not AppleOS so ugly?

In general, I don't like holding a strong opinion without some practical first-hand experience. That's not always practical, but it's a general principle that I like to stay close to, so I do get what you’re saying. However, how much experience do I have to have had with Android to be able to say I don't like it? Am I allowed to not like Android if I've never owned one, even though I have used several? How long would I have to own one to be allowed a negative opinion?

So it ok to come into a section to post negative things about a platform you have never used?
Is that what you are saying?
Then how would you treat someone in the iPhone section that posts negative things about IOS and iPhones...then you find out they don't have or never have had an iPhone.
What would you think of someone like that? What credibility would they have in your eyes?

I don't think Android is great. But at the same time, iOS seems to be getting worse. So the gap is narrowing.

I think both platforms copy so much from each other that in a few years they will pretty much be the same....

You mean like happens every day on this site? Sure it's annoying.

I didn't initially realise this thread was in the Alternatives to iOS section, since I saw it on the ticker on the main page, so I get why you're pissed off, but bashing Apple is pretty much the default across much of this forum. If you say you like something Apple's done it doesn't take long for someone to call you a shill, so yeah.
