You have a mac and therefore get iTunes forced on you and bolded is exactly my point. Apple forces your hand for better or worse.
Android, Windows, Linux, etc allow you freedom to pick and choose what ever you want. Apple forces you to use their products.
But I'm not trying to convince you to change. Just stating that there are other options that are equal or better depending on your preference.
I prefer to walk out of a store with my new phone or tablet and only have to log in with my gmail account for it to nearly instantly have all my music, photos, videos, contacts, etc on my device. I don't want to have to go home and connect it to anything for hours while it replicates.

I don't need to change something if it works well enough. iTunes works well enough.
You can do that with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.

What if you have more data than iCloud allows you to store for free? Android is 20,000 songs, infinite photos/video/docs... all free and on ANY device, not just Android. What if you bought a Windows PC?
If I buy a Mac I can use Google's apps to download my stuff to the Mac.
Additionally ... "well enough"... so you just settle for it. What if there is something that's better with specific features you love or would die to have?
Let's take iOS 6 as the perfect example. Here Apple is removing GMaps as the default and using its own maps/navigation. You have no choice... even if GMaps is better (not saying one is one way or the other).. you can't use GMaps as default.
I have three browsers on my phone. Stock, Chrome (will become stock with next Android version), and Dolphin (my hidden browser for teh pron). If I use google voice to find something and say "what are purple pikmin?" it will offer all three browsers as the choice to google the answer. I can even set one as a default if I wish and change it at any time. Apple would only open Safari. You'd have to open something else manually first to have an option. (I might be wrong with this as iOS6 may finally add that as a feature, but I didn't see that in their presentation)
Again. Its a matter of preference as both offer good stuff. Apple you get ... Apple's way or the highway. Android/Windows you get choice to pick and choose what best fits you and FAR better personalization.
