Many people say that the problem with Windows Phone is that there are no apps, but the OS is crap as well.

The OS was good around the 8.0 time frame, reliable and highly usable. Not the whack-a-mole app dance that is iOS, and not the byzantine maze of android. The changes in 8.1 I did not care for, it made things more like iOS / android but at least the OS remained reliable. It seems like MS thought about the phone and what their strengths were, and decided to get rid of them.

I must be the only one that cares about design, because the inconsistencies they introduced in margins, dialogs, style of buttons, etc. in 8.1 really grinded my gears.

Personally I think the OS is great. The problems are all on the app side.

Wow. I totally get your point, however it used to be that the OS was simply a platform to USE apps with which you do actual work. We've come a long way to this distorted weird dysfunctional belief ...
