Yes it's funny to joke about, but I hope you don't really think it's true.

Nah, I'm sure (most) everyone gets the joke. This would have turned into an iPhone bashing thread long ago otherwise (I like how civil this forum is). And though it wasn't obvious, my comment about not trying Windows Phone 7 was meant that it might be a pretty good OS, but I can't personally say.
Anyway, all joking aside, the data don't lie:

I've got a droid, am currently using a windows phone 7 and my wife has an iPhone. I don't think android is difficult, but it's certainly not the easiest to use out there. Of course the lack of a back button on the iPhone aggravates me sometimes too.

Not entirely but from selling phones for the past few years you see all types of people buying the different types of phones. In some ways that statement is accurate. I'm not saying calling people stupid, but ones that absolutely refuse to touch android because "it's too hard" is a little ridiculous. And for windows phones I have had way to many of them come back with issues to justify even recommending them to anyone.

Wow, I think my joke/comment back in 2011 sounds pretty harsh today -- I wonder if the playing field has evened out a lot in 2 years. Sadly, I still lack any meaningful experience with an iPhone, and the next best claim I can make is that I set up my daughter's 4th gen iPod Touch. But while doing so, I found myself thinking two things...first, "where's the app tray?...wait...ALL THEIR APPS are on the homescreen???" and second, "Hmmm, not much opportunity to use the homescreen creatively." The take-away message is that I prefer the Android experience through and through, and yeah, I do kinda think our team has caught up in usability and maybe then some.
If a prospective owner says "it's too hard," forgive me for thinking this, but hey if I can get my gadget-unfriendly wife to do anything and everything she wants to on her Moto X and Nexus 7, then I don't think the problem is with the OS or the user interface.

Steve Ballmer has mistakenly recognized my 8 year old daughters as computer scientists. The future of Microsoft seems secure.
