re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
(Reaches into the closet for some sheep shears and Windex). It is aesthetically a nice look on a UI. I personally like it as I'm not drowning in icons. However this is the look I use on my Z Ultra. For my Android devices I do one home screen only to decrease clutter. Still not as visually appealing as WP though.
Functionality wise, that's a different story...

From aesthetics maybe but the point behind them still eludes me. For example, the flipping on my weather app takes way too long. Other tiles either have nothing or the information is repetitive.
Keep in mind I live a fairly uncluttered life. I work and go home pretty much. I don't have 100s of people texting and emailing me daily. I also don't hold long conversations on text, whatsapp or Skype daily, only once in a while but then I still don't need live tiles to do that.
That's where it sort of loses me. I see my phone as functional more than anything else. It's partially why I can care less about customization. I just want a device that works. I do what I need and that's all that matters. Which is what I thought WP was for. I'm not going to sit and stare at my background image, my lock image or watch the tiles flip. I've got a life. To some, those things are very important to them, to me whatever.
That's why I never got the live tile thing. It just seemed like something to have. A gimmick.
