This argument of UI design needs to die a quick death.

The fact is, no matter what interface you use, you are going to become accustomed to it, and over time you are going to be just as efficient at doing stuff.

I can easily make arguments about iPhone shitty notification system compared Android, or lack of easily accessible settings, but we both know that people who use the iPhone don't really have an issue with it.

This is the same "vim vs IDE" pointless arguments that people used to have.

Doing more things is not about ease of use. The notification example is horrible, why would you do more things in the notification beyond immediately reacting(an action like reply) to it? If you do more, it's not a notification its a widget that is presented in a list and this makes it 10x harder to use instantly because it breaks concept of notifications. Can be useful in certain workflows but this doesn't make it easier to use, it makes it versatile which can be good if you are willing to deal with the added complexity.
