- A few of his complaints are about apps on the store (1Password, Tweetbot, Circa, Reeder). I'm not sure how these are "Android" problems.
- Ads in apps are the responsibility of the app author to provide a free/pay model to remove them. Again, not an "Android" problem.
- The settings menus make complete sense to me, but I will agree with him about the toggles-as-buttons thing. That had me wondering where wifi settings were for a few minutes.
- Keyboard vibrate is an option in the keyboard settings in every single version of android I've ever used, and every single third-party keyboard too.
- Jumping to a specific screen (the "home" screen) is usually an option in the settings. I'm not sure about on 4.2, but I know that it is on CM10, which is based on 4.1. It might be their third-party launcher that provides this though. It's in Settings -> Launcher -> Homescreen -> Default Screen.
Terrible apps in the Android store is kind of a problem with the Android platform, even if they aren't a problem with Android directly. So for a user going "Why can't I just pay for this?" that's distinctly an Android platform problem.
I can't think of an instance that I've had an app that is ad supported that doesn't have a "pro" version that often does nothing more than removes the ads.
