I feel like this whole piece is why everyone makes fun of Apple fanboys. You have Apple dragging you by the b-... nose and you say thank you more. That's why everyone dislikes Apple and anyone who uses it.

And mind you I've turned from full Linux to full Apple. iPad, Macbook and iPhone (and more to come, given time and money).

And, yes, the constant regressions are a huge pain in all platforms. No heads up, and no way you are getting back that little feature or that little bug is getting fixed. Maybe in a couple of years... A good example of that is screenshotting on iPad. Suddenly you cannot create shapes or straight lines by holding down the Pencil not even remotely as easily. I think that handwriting touchup has something to do with this. Although disabling the option changes nothing.

This article just reinforces my opinion that chasing an up to date (Apple?) device is just too much energy. Pick the next major version than the one your device came with and live a happy life.

I have seen MagicLasso in the store before, and these days I also noticed it sponsors some blog, before I removed that RSS feed. Interesting for all the hard feelings its creator has.
