These stories are why I'd never use a service like this until it reaches some maturity.


It worked great until Apple decided that they wanted to be a streaming music provider a few years ago. I hate the new music app. Back when the iPod Touch was still a separate product, the music app was far better. Then an update broke all my playlists.

The sad thing is that this kind of feature breakage of software is pretty much universal across the industry today. Unless one is using whatever seems to be the current new-shiny thing, you're a support burden that needs to be eliminated. Why don't developers accept that old features are still used by people? Maybe I'm just some stupid old kernel developer that places too much emphasis on not breaking other people's shit, as my values are certainly not reflected by most of the products I have to use every day (from websites to phones to user interfaces).
