<p>easy to understand and use for everyone. you no longer need to spend tons of time teaching junior devs how to use git. By default mercurial also doesn't let you change history. There's no staging area or indexing before the commit. The gui and commands make total sense to the layman.<p>Git is definitely more powerful but causes more damage than good and wastes more time in most workplaces who are just looking for some simple version control and branching/merging features.</p>

<p>Picking a book getting approached by the teacher then writing a book report has been how I was taught to read since 1st grade. After moving to the US for high school, being forced to read through the American classics was what killed any urges I had for reading fiction outside of school work</p>

<p>This mindset is why literacy rate is so low in America. I enjoyed reading so much when I grew up abroad and got to pick the books i have to read and write a book report about. Though it has to be approved. After moving back to the US, being forced to read many of these boring classics just taught me to avoid reading in my free time</p>

<p>> Consistency of user experience.<p>like how the back gesture works on iphones across generation and apps?<p>> Reliable security updates for old devices that still function<p>7 years of update isn't long enough?<p>> Heavy integration with the Google spyware ecosystem<p>last I checked iOS is closed source. Run your own OS or just don't use google apps. I bet most people are using gmail and google maps on their iphones too.<p>> Poor CPU performance and battery life.<p>compared to which android phone? and is this before or after apple throttles your iphone?<p>> Low-quality peripherals such as cameras<p>flag ship androids consistently have better camera hardware compared to iphones, iphone just makes it up with better camera software. You could go the sony route if you don't live in the U.S. to get a better overall camera focused phone.<p>> Manufacturer defects in Google-branded device<p>good thing you have options in android ecosystem.</p>
