I wonder how many of you are comparing apples & peaches. That is, comparing stock Android ROMs / vendor UIs / default applications with the Maemo-side of things. Up to my knowledge, many shortcomings are fixed by 3rd party stuff.

When i had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.0.x) for some weeks, i didn't like it. When i had a Galaxy Nexus (4.2.x) for a week, i didn't like it too. Both were bland, boring, and feeling very restricted. But being corporate devices, i couldn't play around with them that much (that is, installing software, much customizing etc).

Now that my Touchpad said 'good riddance' to the trainwreck webOS (or rather it's very under-supported software availability/lack of features), i could ("not", yes i could but) be happier with CyanogenMod 10 (4.1.2) but it is really good enough for me now.

Being able to choose applications / tools of your choice, from vast offers, really makes a difference. Of course, the task switching / process freezing / reloading still sucks hairy b*lls, even if i have installed that webCM mod.

(And i love the Hacker's keyboard. No Swype or similar dreck for me)
