This exactly echoes Marco Arment's "Google Blindness" post. I'm sure a lot of people read "Android is Better" and "Google Blindness" and perceived a direct thesis-antithesis relationship, but that wasn't the case. He actually proposed a compromise view in the middle that (surprise) different people like different things.
Different strokes for different folks and all that.
I'm also disappointed by everyone succumbing to the usual flame war-ish ideologies surrounding iOS and Android. One does not need to be better than the other. You can develop for both. Developing on either one has strategic advantages and disadvantages, and you can always port to the other later (okay, almost always).
It's so annoying that people attempt to crunch all the arguments for and against each operating system into a binary response to using either one. It's childish and uninformed.
