With that use case in mind, I'm very satisfied.
However, I stay away from videos, apps, sync or whatever else they shoved into this app. I don't have a compelling reason to use these features because they're either accessible through the iOS devices directly or iCloud (when it works).
I always hated how stupid it makes adding a few songs to an existing device. Half the time it wants to re-sync everything and wipe the device while doing it. Avoid iTunes with extreme prejudice.
Make it too cumbersome for your users to put an mp3 from their pc on their iPhone and they might just buy the song again from iTunes ?
On Windows at least there are some iTunes alternatives for loading stuff onto iDevices. You'll have to google around for them, but the couple I tried on my niece's iPhone worked fine.
I don't iDevice on my rMBP, and I think I accidentally launched iTunes once before I remembered to install VLC. Other than that, I simply pretend like it doesn't exist.
(being Android all around makes life super easy)
No. I don't hate iTunes. It could certainly be better but I wouldn't say I hate it. If they improved the loading speed of iTunes and the App Store it would be fine. It's very similar to the Steam Apps in some regards (store and library in one). I do hate the fact that ONLY iTunes can be used to move stuff onto an iPhone though. That's the part I hate. If they broke it up into small parts I'd be so happy though... tl;…
I remember fiddling with some tools on Ubuntu to put some music on an iPhone - like, half a decade ago. Is that now blocked somehow ?
