I still think it is the obligation of Apple to supply a comprehensive manual that describes all the functions and their implementations. Not everyone has the time, knowledge, energy, etc, to research the internet for every variation of function usage, Multiple ways to accomplish a task are justified when in support of different input devices. They become a burden to memory when only provided to add variety, But no doubt, they are a plus for the young gaming generation, who like to have as many ways available to get a kill. For us old foggies, they are more a distraction and hindrance than an asset.
I'm sure you're not alone on that score. But, as long as Apple continues to be the most valuable company on the planet, I don't think they're going to change that policy.
Well, I have to disagree with almost all of that, from Apple's perspective. I certainly understand that from your point of view, this can make things more difficult. Sorry. I think Apple has to consider its entire customer base. I believe the purpose in providing multiple ways to do the same thing is in acknowledgement of the fact that they sell to millions of people, and some might prefer one way, while others prefer a different way. Bottom line: users only have to learn one way to do a task, and if it works for you, stick with it.
