Interesting point about the Fitbit, but I do think that for most other devices, Apple remains the best option. Some might gripe about Apple software, and sometimes hardware, but are there better options out there that actually meet your needs?

Like most of us, I have to use Windows machines as well and, whatever frustrations I sometimes have with Apple software, they are nothing compared with using Windows. As for MS Office software, which I am required to use both on the Mac and in Windows, the UI makes me want to put a hammer to my display. For mobile OS's, I have not really tried Android, but I have heard plenty of complaints about it from those who do use it, including those who have given up on it in frustration and moved back to iOS.

That there is nothing better out there is not an endorsement of Apple's software choices. Actually it is part of the problem, as it gives Apple little incentive to improve. But it is, for the most part, the reality.
