Replying to text messages and iMessages from the desktop.

I feel you!

Man, iMessage is a giant vendor-lock (probably biggest of them all) that's seamless and /comfy/ when you're in the Ecosystem, but turns into ugly mess once you step outside. It then makes you ask yourself if you want to use anything besides Apple products.

Moving to platform-independent tools is the key.

Applications have no consistency to them whatsoever

Developers are free to write their apps in however way they see fit, without any entity enforcing the rules. That's both the blessing and a curse in an OSS world.
