You may be right. I just really dislike closing threads due to incivility. It feels like stifling free speech. I prefer warnings or infractions, but will close threads that seem beyond hope. I just didn't feel this thread was that bad... yet.
Ultimately, where we stand on this topic is a matter of opinion, because we all have different ways of judging how "Android like" WP is (what I tried to explain in my post on page 5). This is not about cold hard technical facts. Anyone treating it as such, or responding with simple yes/no answers just hasn't yet put enough thought into it.
I feel both sides have valid arguments that deserve to be heard. Many of us would be better off doing a bit less shouting and a lot more listening.
Dennis you are so right! I miss Facebook integration! Now I h ave to rely on the stupidly slow messenger app! And to see my news feed, I have to use the buggy Facebook app.
Guess what: I didn't have Facebook installed before, although I use it everyday!
FACEBOOK integration is still there in Windows Phone 8.1 You can post to someone's timeline by linking their Contact's profile to their Facebook page. Then all you need to do is tap their contact and tap "Post to Timeline" in their profile. You can type your message and add photos or videos. It hasn't gone away, just done a little differently.

Nope. My dishes are still in the sink. Lazy tramp.Symbian did everything
What I find absolutely hysterical about this is when reading a typical WP complaint thread (and there are thousands of them) the most consistent argument you'll see for adding this or that feature is "Android can do this". Now WP is too "Android like". Unbelievable.
I know! It's like they want WP to be ahead of Android in the market but they want it to be stuck on wp7 feature list. Smh
It's the, "I want my cake and eat it too" mentality.
Me personally, I never used WP7.x so I don't know what I missed. I just jumped to WP8 back last summer and yes there were some things I missed on WP8 (and even WP8.1) that I could do on Android. Most if it though had to do with apps (or lack of), and VERY little to do with the OS itself. Now that WP8.x has matured somewhat and the so called "app gap" has been narrowed, I can do EVERYTHING on my Icon that I could do on my GN2, expect for ONE item. And that is connect to my camera's Eye-Fi card with my phone. Since that is an APP issue and not an OS issue, I can't blame Microsoft or Nokia.
I find that WP8.x OS is a whole heck of a lot faster than Android, it is sleek and polished, and it is different and new. Like I said previously, if Microsoft wants to increase its market share, then it needs to convert Android users first. Not because iOS is better, but because the majority of the world (and Microsoft is thinking global) uses Android powered phones.
The main issue for me is how we now have to micro manage apps. Something which we didn't have to do in wp8.. I agree with you there that it's becoming too much like android..
But just so you know, micro managing apps is now unnecessary on Android for the most part. Like I've said before, WP & Android have switched places!
