It is okay that there are threads like this. It is not news we are a little behind other OS's. I still feel that for the age of the OS, WP is about where Android and iOS were at the same stage of development. Problem is there are 2 established and mature OS" to judge it against. If MS started pumping out fixes at a rate of 3-5 a year and everyone starting getting their device bricked because of it, guess what our forums would be filled with? Yep, unhappy posters with unusable devices.
The pace is slow, but MS updates their devices better then Google. They have more choices in devices and price points then Apple. Nokia is very dependable in updates and fixes. I will even give a slight tip of the cap to Samsung, who has been pretty decent in getting updates out. Are we missing tools of the trade? Yep. But I am more worried about what 8.1 brings then where we are now.
As for some of the other complaints- I agree with above posters: If the consumers are blindly okay with grid UI, live tiles will not get boring. I also will go one step farther. Most consumers do not mess with their cell phones much after the first few months. They get them set up, and stay with that set up for the life of the device. Live tiles are way more suited for that then icons, in my humble unimportant opinion.
