People will always argue over everything. If you don't want to deal with it, you should just leave again and stick with the tightly modded Apple specific sites.
But I do think you're right, I doubt there will be any big changes that will fix my gripe. I probably won't have a tablet until mid to late 2011 when there's some 2nd gen Android or Windows 7 tablets out.
I need something more designed for productivity/business/academic use rather than the straight media consumption/entertainment oriented device that Apple is going for with the iPad.
