This is true: Android had a decade of development with a huge team. However, depending on your usage patterns, it can be good enough today. It works as my daily driver. See also:

Thanks for the info. Their comments on hardware treadmills are reasonable. I'm not looking to chase the latest hardware, but I was still scared off by reviews claiming web video playback performance issues. I suppose I was hopping for the bumps to smooth out a bit.

I find it encouraging to hear that it's working for you. I'll probably take another look at making the switch when I have a moment. I'd much rather support an alternative platform if possible.
