>> Actually you only lose features you wouldn't want in the first place and would drag the whole thing down (less battery life, bulkier, etc).

>> How it works and feels is much more important than how it looks ("design is how it works").

As an iPhone 4 user who upgraded to iOS 7, I would have loved the option to turn off all those extraneous animations that force me to wait for them to finish running before I can do anything.

In other words, I want to lose some "how it looks" features because they drag the whole thing down ("how it works") for me on my phone.
