I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.

I was a high school computer nerd in the 80's. They all said that about me then too, and I didn't care.

But to your point, it will probably get slicker over time. For this one, they erred on the side of high fidelity, and they nailed it pretty well.

Oh, I have no doubt that it will get better over time, but I think people forget that part of the early adopter tax is often that you look like a fucking dork. Which in my mind isn't a bad thing - it shows that you're committed to making it work. There's something noble about that, wouldn't you say?

Upvote for doubling down on the "look like a fucking dork" phrase. I wasn't sure at first if this was self-deprecating humor, but now I am. Neeeeeerd!

"early adopter tax"- love that, may have to borrow it

And you're right! And some of us will happily pay that! It is the _bleeding_ edge, after all.
