I Love TouchWiz

[LukeOlson]

I'm sick and tired of hearing about how much people hate TouchWiz. I want to hear specific reasons WHY you hate it. Here's what I love about it:

1. Buttons to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent, and Auto-rotation inside the notification bar
2. The glass lock-screen (swipe in any direction, not just from one side to the other)
3. Music controls on the lock screen and in the notification bar (when the music app is open)
4. HD video recording (not available on stock Android)
5. Task manager (long-press the home button)
6. Smart T9 dialer (start typing somebody's name in the keypad and their number will show up)
7. The speed dial functionality
8. Notification icons (in my opinion, prettier than stock, even Gingerbread)
9. The quick-scroll-by-letter inside the music player and contact browser (similar to that found on the iPhone)
10. The inclusion of a stopwatch and timer inside the clock app
11. Swipe left on a contact to text-message him/her... swipe right to call him/her (instead of tapping on the contact, then tapping on the phone number, then choosing to text/call)
12. The My Files and Memo apps
13. The ability to compose text messages to multiple recipients within the default messaging app
14. The ability to toggle mobile data in the power menu

The only thing I don't care for with TouchWiz is the launcher, but that can easily be replaced (I use LauncherPro).

So does everybody hate all of these things that I love, or are there other things that are annoying?

I had stock on my last Android phone, and I definitely prefer the improvements that TouchWiz has added.

To be fair, though, most of things you've mentioned are available in Gingerbread AOSP ROMs, going at least from Gingervillain 1.6... and what isn't can be found in decent third party apps.

Personally, I just think Touchwiz is ugly.

People find it slow. And some of people migrate from that TW to a modded TW version.
People have different tastes.
And TouchWiz is what you see in the main menu, you said you have LauncherPro. So you use a LauncherPro UI, not TouchWiz UI.

Correct me if I am wrong, people.
