I think this is something that comes with age for almost everyone that perceives themselves as different. People in their younger years attempt to change how they are in order to make everyone like them. Later on in life, they realize that this is pointless and they're better off just being themselves and shedding the people who can't deal with that.
- A few of his complaints are about apps on the store (1Password, Tweetbot, Circa, Reeder). I'm not sure how these are "Android" problems.
- Ads in apps are the responsibility of the app author to provide a free/pay model to remove them. Again, not an "Android" problem.
- The settings menus make complete sense to me, but I will agree with him about the toggles-as-buttons thing. That had me wondering where wifi settings were for a few minutes.
- Keyboard vibrate is an option in the keyboard settings in every single version of android I've ever used, and every single third-party keyboard too.
- Jumping to a specific screen (the "home" screen) is usually an option in the settings. I'm not sure about on 4.2, but I know that it is on CM10, which is based on 4.1. It might be their third-party launcher that provides this though. It's in Settings -> Launcher -> Homescreen -> Default Screen.
I'm reading this as "I've lost all of my other clients because I'm clearly not very bright, so I have plenty of time to focus on this fight that I can't possibly win."
My wife just went through a lot of this. She's been teaching for 8 years, the first 7 of those at one school. A few years ago that school got a new principal. She went from being one of the top performing teachers based on evaluations to the bottom of the list. This isn't because she's a bad teacher, but because she and the principal didn't get along. At the end of last year, she quit that job and got a new position in a new district. First evaluation this year? Right back to the top again.
On top of that, the new district has a completely different outlook on how to deal with parents amongst other things. The old school and district would bend over backward for parents even if they were completely in the wrong. The new district will at least try to take an objective view of any issues, including input from the teacher.
What does that do for a teacher's morale? I know a number of teachers from that old school who were great teachers, but quit to do other things because they didn't want to deal with the BS anymore. My wife was nearly one of those, but she knew that it wasn't her that was the problem.
