    it's sad for people like me who stuck with them, saw them become dominant and now they're fighting for that while making questionable but not truly awful software decisions.

Companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft all seem bent on making the people who use their services a captive audience. I think they worry less about product quality because once you use their products, you're less likely to leave because you're committed. While it makes good business sense, I find it more than a bit unfair.

Edit: Typing anything of significance on a phone is an exercise in patience.

Plus, it's always a huge disappointment when I take 20 minutes typing out (what I think) is a long, insightful comment on my phone, only to find it's 3 lines (with 3 typos) when I get back to my desktop.
