What phone os is the most intuitive?

[MagnusTheBrewer]

It's an interesting question since 90% of phone apps are solutions to problems that previously never existed.

ios' rigidity has always been very counterintuitive to me. tons of things I intuitively expect to be simple, quick and natural to do are not just hard but plainly impossible on it.

I think low level surface stuff is probably pretty equal.

In general anyone on here is going to figure things out pretty quickly and test the limits.

Thats almost exactly what I said in my very first post, these are OSs designed for the average user and lowest common denominator. None of them are difficult to use for your every day usage.

If you're a regular AARP member, standard Suzie Homemaker, or Bateluer, you will get confused by things and just wait a few weeks before some handsome young thing comes along to help you.

Uh, I don't follow you. I'm able to use all three platforms with a high level of proficiency. I'm usually the one showing people how to use their iPhones and Androids. Don't know anyone with a Windows Phone device thats using it as a daily driver. Few Lumias around at work, but they're only toys, devices that we've picked up on the cheap.

I started with Android, so iOS feels cumbersome and slow. Windows Phone 8 is frustrating enough to make me want to through the phone against the wall. Any UI designer in 2014 that thinks its okay to have an infinite vertical or horizontal scroll in 2014 needs to be taken out and shot. WP8/W8 Metro and HTC's Blinkfeed atrocity come to mind.

That was what I was referring back to -- personally I find WP, both 7 and now 8 to be elegant, beautiful, and intuitive. Been using WP for 3 years now. That being said, it has been limited (really MS? No freaking VPN?).

PS -- just pulling your chain
