RSOon Moving Atom to React

I've been using Atom for a while now, and I'm really impressed with the progress that it's showing. There are still some times that I'm forced to switch back to Sublime (mass-editing a large text file for instance), but I'm really enjoying the experience!

RSOon What Windows 8 Haters Don’t Understand About Windows 8

I'm not really in to these Windows 8 discussions, basically because I'm not using Windows myself, but the main argument against Windows 8 that I have come across so far was that there are two different interfaces.

As I understand this new interface is called the Metro interface, which (without having it used) looks promising, bu t is totally different than the old Windows interface (which I have used).

It seems to me as if Microsoft couldn't finish the Metro interface so it was a good replacement for the old interface, so they just kept the old interface as a backup.

But then again, this is coming from someone who hasn't used Windows 8 in any way.

RSOon Why do apps from the same company look worse on Android than on iPhone?

I think it also has to do with the fact that the iPhones have a fixed set of specs. With android you never know what kind of specs your users phone has (screen height/width e.d.). But with the iPhone you're always sure what controls your user has (touch screen instead of controller).
