But hey, at least they implemented Google Drive integration. To their credit, they implemented the ability to browse ZIP and even TAR and 7z files, create ZIP files, a built-in EXIF viewer, the ability to open multiple instances, selection by tapping the file icon (faster than holding), a large grid view suitable for image seeking, and the file transfer progress indicator is displayed as a notification, which is better than a pop-up that blocks interacting with the file manager, like in Samsung's file manager. | But hey, at least they implemented Google Drive integration.

Let's take a look at Android's text editor. Oh wait... '''Android doesn't have one!''' | |||
Since the dawn of personal computers, a text editor was a basic part of the "scope of delivery" of operating systems. Something you'd simply expect to be there. Even Windows 1.0, even MS-DOS had a pre-installed text file editor. But Android? Nope. | |||
Now, you'd say "can't you get a text editor from the Play Store"? Well, the Play Store is a mine field of adware. Text editors from there are usually filled with advertisements that require <s>piracy</s> payment to remove, or risk breaking with the next Android update because Google makes changes to file access once again that "make life more difficult" for third-party apps because Google considers all third-party apps untrustworthy. | |||
If Google considers third-party apps untrustworthy by default, how come they haven't bothered making something as simple as a text editor for Android? | |||
