Yes. And I find nothing wrong with it. I am an Android fan, but I don't recommend it to newbies. At the same time iOS is too limiting for me.

But there are tinkerers like me, who want flexibility and are willing to put up with some trouble. For those, I am happy Android exists! And IMHO it's really the same thing in the Windows (or now MacOS X) vs Linux discussion
