- Everything is already one terrible interface for everything. Make a better interface.
- The better companies will minimize this. We still depend on cloud services like Gmail, github et.. on a day to day basis. And they still mess it up occasionally.
- There are ready designers who know nothing about UI design for each particular device pumping out apps.
- Look at the linux ecosystem. I think its working out.
* I don't know what programs you're using. I think the iOS interface is great and rife with amazing UIs by both Apple and 3rd party devs that I enjoy using every day. If your devices have terrible UIs that are non-unique, that's your business.
* I rely on those services via clients that beat the hell out of the native web offering. Cloud services are an inbuilt way of life, cloud or web-based apps can go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. They have two benefits: Developer simplicity and access from anywhere. Everything else is just downsides.
* Of course, but making it easier doesn't help. Just like with all fields, most programmers and software designers are amateur and lazy. IMO making even easier for these people to create terrible apps and making it the cornerstone of a mobile OS is a really bad idea.
* ...You're joking right? I don't even know where to begin with that one, except to look at Linux on the desktop numbers and then come back to me.
