I was actually saddened when I saw people starting with their patches forcing Lucida back in OS X 10.10.
Helvetica was one of the things that made the iPhone so great.
Helvetica is neutral, timeless and easy to read. It's the perfect user interface font, especially the UI-optimized version OS X 10.10 is using.
As always, people just hate change.
That said, San Fransisco is a cool font, it just looks horrible as a computer font: too much space, and it's almost like all the characters look the same. But for a small device like a watch it's perfect.
it's almost like all the characters look the same.
Interesting you say that, but prefer Helvetica. Quote from Erik Spiekermann in the film Helvetica: "Because all the letters...it's the whole Swiss ideology; the guy who designed it tried to make all the letters look the same."
