I found it very easy to use and I’m a first gen android adopter, did custom roms on all my phones, the works.

I tried my partner’s new iPhone 4 and fell in love. I’m used to gestures for everything since switching to Opera in the early 00s when they implemented mouse gestures, so memorizing gestures for everything was easy.

I don’t feel it’s over-animated at all. It feels very natural for me to navigate and I love it. I don’t have to fuck around with bootloaders or custom roms and they last like five years. Our iPad Pro is like seven years old and beats the shit out of a shitty laggy Wacom tablet for art.

I wish the file explorer was better, that would be a boon for me and navigating my servers, but most of the stuff I do on the iPad or iPhone is simple enough, and airdrop is even easier than saving something to my servers to transfer to another machine (I don’t use cloud services.)
