I dig this, and screw the criticism. I love the Apple-ness. Cool website and beautiful product. This is like the most HN thing ever — I mean that in the best way possible.
Mostly agree. I recently caught up with Peter from Journey.io for an interview and he mentioned exactly this. Something along the lines of "the era of janky MVPs is over." There's certainly a balance of shipping an MVP and shipping crap. I think if you routinely ship crap, or things that are subpar, for the sake of speed, users will start to associate all of your work with crap.
