While I agree with a lot of your points, I'm a little puzzled by this one:
"It always amuses me to see how much vitriol comes from anti-apple folks..."
Was I the intended recipient of that description? I'd hardly call myself "anti-Apple," nor would I say I've engaged in "vitriol" directed at Apple. Almost the complete opposite, in fact. :)
In my reading that wasn't directed at you, but the general "wake up sheeple" type comments you often find directed at people making pro-apple comments.
You did a great job, summed up my thoughts. If I wasn't an Apple kind of guy, I'm sure I'd have an S4.

Apologies if I'm misreading you.
