I learn a lot from forum discussions and gain new insights, and that may be true for others, too (case in point, I didn't know that the Nexus 7 can be connected to a TV via the SlimPort, with an adapter). The Fire HDX costs as much as the Nexus 7 (2103), but lacks some aspects of the latter and the re-branded and modified Android OS of the Fire limits what you can do with it. On the upside, it features better integration with Amazon's services. What's wrong with discussing this?
People here aren't really complaining about the Fire not having some of the Nexus' features, and vice versa. The complaints are about previous Fire devices not receiving the new version of the Amazon OS (which is an older Android version).

I agree that discussion is good thing, and I also learn a lot from them. My post focused only on the "complaints" about the Fire not being pure Android. There were at least three persons that disliked "forked" Android.
The Fire is truly the incorrect device to purchase if you must have pure Android. 100% of my friends and family that have Fires really enjoy them and have never even mentioned the word "Android".
