As someone who has used Windows Phones for the last 3 years (4 phones in that time frame) I honestly think there are some good things about the platform. Where it fails is where it has departed from the original Microsoft theme of "it's your device do what you want with it" to a "we control everything to keep you safe". It is absolutely the safest platform out there but that means that developers have less control and power in the apps that they can build for it. The result of this is reduced functionality applications and then fewer apps in general.

If a Surface phone is eventually released I may buy it but at this point I WON'T upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile or buy another WP. I am a power user that ultimately wants powerful apps. Users will never get that in the Windows 10 application line because they are crippled by design.
