When, at last, Apple will make the interaction between iOS and OS X normal?

Apple technology "just works" - the mantra of the giant from Cupertino, we hear for the past many years.
There is no doubt that this motive makes people tired of the constant trouble with the installation and configuration of devices on Windows, to buy their own equipment Apple's, and at the same time want the computer to just work without causing trouble, and without forcing the owner to engage in endless customization devaysa "under yourself. "
In addition, many users of computer equipment from Apple, own one or even several devaysa on iOS. And what's next?
Imagine that after some time the use of devices on OS X and iOS, you start to notice strange things - the same program for iOS and OS X does not want to work "in tandem". But let us pass from words to facts.
First fact. iPhoto. Synchronization and editing photos
Normally, when you edit or delete images in the iPhoto program on your iOS device, it is absolutely logical to instantaneous changes in these photos in Photo Stream album.
In this case, we assume that iPhoto has the same functionality as for the iOS, and for OS X.
So, in reality, all the changes will only work on iOS.
What is meant?
Changes made to the photos on your iOS device, only occur on it, so you will not see them, open the iPhoto software on your Mac.
On the other hand, when adding or editing image, iPhoto for OS X, it will be added without any problems in your Photostream iPhone album (or iPad). True, after the first synchronization with Mac photo editing is no longer possible.
Second fact: AirDrop
With iOS upgrade to the seventh version, it appeared the long-awaited application AirDrop, which allows, according to the Apple's, to easily share files between various iOS devices, and any other supporting AirDrop.
Everything will work perfectly as long as you do not want to send the file on the Mac, using your iPhone (or iPad).
I would not want to upset you, but you will not succeed. The transfer of files on iOS only works for iOS, well and accordingly, the same feature on OS X works for OS X.
Therefore, if you need to transfer a file with iOS on OS X, you have to do it either via e-mail or use the same cloud storage like Dropbox or Google Drive.
What conclusions can we draw?
Using the device of "apple" of the company on a daily basis, I would like to see programs that are available for both operating systems can communicate with each other qualitatively.
And finally, I would like to refer to the development teams OS X and iOS: Guys, meet more often, maybe then the interaction will be closer between you.
