You're saying there are tradeoffs to different platforms? No shit. Like anything else in life, it all depends on your situation. Whether it's programming languages, car you drive, food you eat, etc. Want a phone that's expensive but "just works"? Buy an iPhone. Want a phone that has the ability to do interesting wacky things? Buy an unlocked Android phone. Phone wars are stupid (in the "X is better / no, Y is better" sense).

That's exactly why I hate articles like this. "Other peoples' opinions don't matter because they're just opinions. Let _ME_ set the record straight."
For that matter, I actually would prefer install ubuntu or firefox OS on it.
... which are both currently only possible on a bootloader unlocked Android phone
Well Ubuntu Edge is coming up and I believe Firefox's ZTE Open is already out in several countries, so maybe that statement is only true in USA.
Or a Moto X? Nexus 4?
