Agreed.
I'm looking to give Windows Phone a shot, but not because I think any other OS is bad. I just think they all have something to offer, and the question becomes for YOU which one is the best offering.
In the past 10yrs I've owned Windows Mobile, Palm, RIM, iOS and Android devices. From my old school HTC 6800, Palm Treo (both Win Mobile and Palm OS versions), Blackberry's of various types, Android of various types, and iPhone 4, 4s and 5 phones... every one of them had somethign to offer me at the time. On my desk right now I have my unused LG G2 and my current phone (HTC One M8)
I love my HTC M8, but the more I look at Windows Phone 8.1 the more I want to give it a shot.
I think questioning what's right of you is good for every ecosystem. If people never needed change, the OS's would become even more stagnant. People wanting more, trying more, shifting between types... it's what drives these companies to improve, and increase.
What I've found over all these years is... your tastes always change. WP8 might be your need now, but you may get heavy into something that Android does better later, or iOS, or whatever... and then you'll change. Then something will change in your habits, and you'll find OS "X" is what you need now so you go to that OS.
No need to ****** it up. Everything has its place.
Thanks for lot of good info on where things are being sneaky.
