I love that Apple added customization without adding complexity.
Novice users will easily be able to add widgets from apps they already have without having to go to a separate widget store (ie OS X) and with the simple "More" option in the share sheet it's easy to customize share options for apps that already have social sharing capabilities.
IMO iOS 8 is a home run. Apple listened to customers that wanted more customization without adding layers of complexity and confusion (ie Android).
If you consider tying your shoes as confusing and complex, then I imagine you think the same of Android customization.
For those that feel iOS 8 was a minor release on the feature side, they simply don't see the limitless potential apple has given developers to make iOS 8 the most powerful usable iOS yet.
The addition of customizable widgets and sharing is huge for iOS and huge for the consumer.
Yes android had those features, but they were not implemented as elegantly and as user friendly as Apple has presented with iOS 8. Consumers will have no problem taking advantage of all iOS 8 has to offer.
TBH the way android implements widgets isn't more complicated than IOS it is just different
Yes. I hardly ever have my location services on. I just input a 'home', and I'll get notifications for that area.
Ah, thank you sir. So you get notifications for where you say you are, not necessarily where you actually are. Frequent locations still need to be enabled for traffic notifications tho, correct?

I tried out Yahoo's weather in the notifications pane and immediately removed it. Too big and poorly thought out. Haven't bothered to modify it any further.

Yep, Yahoo's Weather app isn't the greatest. I prefer Accu Weather myself. And I think this is where I was having issues with the weather appearing in the Notifications Centre: I never used the Yahoo app; but as soon as I launched it, it popped up in Notification Centre.

The default weather is now the Weather Channel, not Yahoo. I prefer it to Yahoo.

Can someone kindly post a screenshot of the new iOS 8 Share Sheet in Safari please?

Agreed.

Ah, so that's what an Android fanboy sounds like. I had never actually met one in real life yet. Lol.
I don't see the traffic conditions in my Today tab. Do they only appear when relevant to my location?
Do you have location services disabled? Both traffic and weather need access to your current location.
That's not true. The OP should be able to input a location he/she wants the weather for without using location services.
For weather notifications?
Yes. I hardly ever have my location services on. I just input a 'home', and I'll get notifications for that area.
That's correct.
