As an iOS guy, I've had an exactly reciprocal experience struggling to navigate Android to change seemingly basic settings. I think our mutual difficulties make more sense if we assume "intuitive" is secretly a synonym for "familiar." We've quietly absorbed our preferred platforms preferred metaphors and idioms over time, and they're intricate and (hopefully) self-consistent.

Without intending to sound too flowery, what I find most interesting though is that the competition between the platforms seems to simultaneously drive both convergence and differentiation that's almost — musical. If you step back and watch the entwined evolutions you can see a lot of mutual love and hate.
