Perhaps the screenshots do not do the design justice, but at the moment, it seems so out of place and inconsistent.

Looks alright aside from the paintbomb explosion background.

More the old Nokia handys, especially the colours.

Seems to me like they tried to mix flat colours with gradients, gradient icons with flat icons, 2d icons with 3d icons and so on.

Perhaps it looks better when you see it on a phone, after all, Windows Phone doesn't really look good on screenshots, yet it is beautiful when you look at it on a phone in your hand.

Disliking something is one thing, but this hate that gets thrown around is just... terrible. Really, idiots, you're so insecure in life that you have to smack down other people to keep your ego happy and temporarily secure?

I'm happy with ios 5, I think they should have returned the google maps app back in ios 7, i'd buy iphone 5 for that lol >.<

Uhm, no posts were made at all between your two posts. Which hate being thrown around are you talking about, exactly?

Stuff that gets thrown around on The Verge, Neowin, Twitter, Facebook, and similar places.

EDIT: Not to mention some platform-centric places like Android Central, WP Central, or whatever.

I was never one for expensive phones myself, or apple for that matter..

Then, would those places not be more appropriate for addressing those people than here, where they can not in fact see what you write?

Was just a little rant. :p Besides, "general discussion".

Yes yes, fair enough, but as we talked about before, if you don't say what you're referring to, people might get the wrong idea. Especially when you address your critique to the reader (as in "you"), which, absent of other information, makes it look like you're actually complaining about the other people in this thread or on the forum in general.
