I must have made it sound more complicated than it is, but it's really quite simple. Double-clicking on an e-Sword file on the Mac is simpler than in Windows where you have to manually move the file to the right location (unless you use the third-party e-Sword Module Installer). And a resource opening up automatically in iOS and being added to e-Sword also seems pretty darn simple—simpler than an "Import" button. But anyway, it doesn't really matter: each to their own, right.
Plus, I should add that whether e-Sword is simpler to use on one platform over another has nothing to do with the OS, but with how Rick Meyers programmed it. Neither Apple, nor Microsoft, nor Google have anything to do with that.
As to whether iOS or Android is easier to use, my personal opinion is that iOS is more intuitive (and I've used both). I also feel that macOS is more intuitive and simple than Windows (and again, I've used both). But that's just my opinion, and it isn't a slam against any particular operating system. I'm neither a Mac evangelist nor a Windows-basher. It's just a matter of personal preference. Live and let live, right?
Thanks for your response/reply.
I agree with you then it comes to which OS is better than the other, its gotta be what is better for the user, and so it really comes down to horses for courses kind of things. That said, if I could, I'd toss Windows in a heartbeat if I could find an OS that does better than that. However it sort of like comes down to simplicity vs complexity, and what is easier to remember. For instance, to identify drives (disks) used for PCs, nothing is easier than A, B, C, and etc., as where in Linux, and macOS and etc., its weird, just to say the least.
Then when it comes to program files, the executables are, well dead easy for Windows/DOS: exe for execute and com for command. That is just so easy. Linux, macOS and etc is a case of, ummm, yep, ahhh, and my head explodes. Other file types that the OS uses, e.g., dll, sys, that one are pretty much simple to understand
- dll = dynamic link library are part of and use by a particular program.
- sys = system used by the operating system both Windows and back in the day, DOS
With regard to Windows itself, the best versions by far, in my experience are:
- Windows 98
- Windows XP
- Windows 10 (which I'm currently using
Worst Windows versions.
- Windows 3.11 (using DOS 6.22)
- Windows 95
- Vista
- Windows 8x
- Windows 9 never happened.
What you see above is my experience Windows in total.
Of the best versions, my favorite has to be XP. It was the most reliable version I've used. Of the worst versions, the one that I hated and detested the most goes to Windows 8 and 8.1
Moreover, when it comes to Windows XP, that is when I met e-Sword (February/March 2004). And when it comes to e-Sword, I never used another Bible program. That was it for me. Fell head-over-heals in love with it, and never found a need to go elsewhere for a really decent Bible program. And that speaks volumes.
Well, that's it from me.
Blessings,
