My anecdotal experience is that the things you are talking about have way more to do with what you are used to then what is "better".

At this point I don't think either is that much better or worse the the other.

For one I have your exact same feeling when using an iPhone. And I know it's not because it's bad, it's just completely different than what I have been using for many many years.

(And yes, i can just go to the app drawer, type "battery" an find the battery settings)

Oh I appreciate its different, that's not my complaint, the UX is just a heavy learning curve that sours the entire experience for something that is actually a decent device. It feels like its built by engineers where having things a certain way makes sense to geeks, where as iOS is built by designers to work for the masses.

I suppose this is where I get the feel that iOS is more modern.

Pulling the app draw and searching battery doesn't work. I've tried it again. Not sure what I've done wrong. I can search in settings itself, but given I'm already half way there, I don't really need to search from there.
