Many of the things that drives people to grief about Apple is that it lives for tomorrow without trying to make concessions for today. For example, if you want to add a reminder you can press and hold down the home button to activate Siri and tell "her" to remind you. But if Siri is down — "she" is beta software as M.G. Siegler will remind you — well, you're left with Reminder App, which is as intuitive as UIs in Linux as Aaron Pressman discovered.

That’s a minimum of 10 clicks and slides to set one reminder. And the biggest problems with making the app so unintuitive and hard to use is that, usually, you’re using the excellent Siri interface to set reminders. So you only have to wade into this morass occasionally and, when you do, you never quite remember all the different steps and tricks. Yuck.

I can easily see where I am not someplace where coverage is good and there are no wifi available, thus I'll be without Siri and will be stuck figuring out how to manually set it. This is hardly the first time people are forced to live in tomorrow at the expense of today.
