iOS 7 looks like a bag of cat crap

So I was not in a huge hurry to download and install iOS 7 but was still a bit curious. I generally feel like Apple's operating systems have a ton of polish that places them light years ahead of Windows OS's.  Mac OS X  (10.1) had more polish than Windows 7 does most of the time.

So I expected iOS 7 to be a refinement on excellence, a few notches better and maybe utilize some 3D hardware to make things more alive and have depth.

Apparently they have hired the Windows 8 designer idiot from Microsoft and put them in charge of iOS 7.

Words  and phrases to describe iOS

- flat

- ugly

- lacking polish

- Windows 8 on sedatives

Also for the first time ever my iPad 2 feels sluggish?  How do you do that? How do you make something look flat and uninteresting and take away most of the perceived depth and also make it run worse?  

Raw talent? 

I have to imagine Steve was alive when they were prototyping this so he had some hand in it; but I also feel like it would not have shipped out looking this ugly and performing this poorly if he were still at the helm.

Note to Apple: if you find yourself being compared to Windows 8 in any way : you are doing it wrong.

The end.
