Its not the OS that is the problem with HTC phones. Its the slow processor (or perhaps, the lack of drivers and a hardware accelerated interface), the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack, the poor battery performance, and the awful ROMs that are included with the device by default.
There is no issue with WinMo. I dont get why people think its bad, or that it isnt enough to combat those others. HTC has been able to skin a good deal of WinMo with TF3D, but its performance can often be lacking, probably due to it running on software rather than hardware acceleration.
HTC has even taken TF3D further, to the point where nearly all basic interaction with the phone is skinned with an elegant interface.
The weak hardware that cant even play a game from 3 years ago as fast as an equally old device is just sad.
The fact that you have to carry a dongle with you to listen to audio from your device is just sad. It keeps it from being a media centric device that the others are able to pull off (minus Android).
It all starts with powerful and complete hardware. Software development with much more fluid and eye-candy rich programs follows that. If thats what you want, then your complaints should be forwarded to the device makers who make devices that cant do what the competition can.
Dont blame the OS which puts no such restriction.
