Internet Explorer is dumb and lame, as ever. The first prerequisite I demand of any desktop browser: ability to
customise keyboard shortcuts. If a desktop browser doesn't have that, it's worthless for me. Of
course IE doesn't have that; that feature would be too smart for it.
My default desktop browser since the 1990s has been Opera. Beware: Opera on mobile devices (including its newest iteration, Coast) is trash; its real counterparts on iOS, in terms of smartness, are browsers like Atomic Web Browser, Mercury or Dolphin.

Wishful thinking!

History guarantees nothing, my friend. Just look at the glorious history of Nokia or BlackBerry. Where are they today? In tatters.

I disagree; I have found all productivity apps on iOS that I need. But I have
not found them on Android.
The biggest weakness of iOS, to me, is the one you alluded to: inability to customise keyboard layouts.
That, along with user profiles, is what I would have appreciated getting as part of iOS 7 -- instead of the trashy cosmetics.
