Having played around with iOS7 a bit, I can say that I mostly like the new interface. Even the new icons if you ignore the Safari one - something really must have gone wrong there - it feels totally out of place for me.
OTOH, this is the first beta out of probably many (considering how stable thing thing currently is - jokingly I'm telling my colleagues that it's as stable as the average Android phone now), so we might still see some changes there.
Of course, the thing that sold iOS 7 to me is the fact that you can finally place the unused and empty newsstand in a folder :-)
Your "joke" would have some element of humor to it if there were any instability at all with current (or last year, or the year before) Android phones. Amazing how that little bit of irrelevant swill diminishes an entire post.
These sorts of anecdotes always appear. Here's mine -- Currently have a Galaxy S3 and a Nexus 4. Previously had a Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Glide. Prior to that had a Nexus One. Prior to that had a HTC G1 and G2.
The last time there was any system instability at all was early in the life of the Nexus One. The OS has been absolutely rock solid since.
Of course apps crash on occasion, just as they crash on my 3rd gen iPad and 5th gen iPod Touch. The system stability ruse, however, is noise.
It probably depends heavily on your device. I've had at least a crash a day with my Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 also crashes at times.
By crashing I mean: device reboots suddenly, which is of course a huge improvement over the 2.x days where the device would lock up completely, forcing you to take out the battery.
I have no experience with more recent devices, where it might be even better.
During 2012 I have been using both a Galaxy Nexus and a 4S as my main phone and at least MY galaxy was much crashier than the iPhone which is the origin of the joke.
The remark was intended as a joke, not as stating fact because I only have two devices to compare. Thankfully, it was clearly marked as such though.
