Precisely not. The mistake that the op and many others in this thread are making is trying to compare one set of tools with another set of tools without an inkling of the motives, goals and design criteria. Having similiar features to "MY favourite shitty app" is no comparison at all. So by the same measure just slightly skeweing the metrics results in his lovely app becoming not ready at all. > If so, can someone list out the order in which the various > platforms endow their superiority on applications?
