Who exactly is saying that? I haven't seen anyone say that the iOS7 design is objectively brilliant, just that it's here and everyone has to adjust to it- complaining about it is going to achieve next to nothing because Apple is rarely interested in community feedback.

In all honesty, most of the comments I have seen simply reflect the fact that (warning: generalisation approaching) iOS designers have been on a high horse about how iOS's design is superior to all other platforms, and are now being forced to re-evaluate that stance after Apple has rejected that design.



I double-checked if I misunderstood the blog, but this interstitial & the "about" box makes it sound as if everyone who dislikes iOS 7 couldn't do it better anyway and should be publicly shamed for thinking they could:

> I CAN DO IT BETTER THAN YOU!! (even though I've never done that specific thing, ever)


@Gruber: If you don’t think iOS 7 is beautiful, I don’t know what to say to you.

...says a guy entirely reliant on his influence in the Apple marketspace up to and including his newly released software application only available on the Apple App Store?
