I know we've discussed this before, but I still think that remote controls with buttons are a superior way of controlling the home theater. At least that's how I feel, and I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. My point is that everyone is different, and not everyone wants to use their phone as the only method of watching something on their TV. We might be heading that direction, but there are still plenty of people who want to have everything they need in their home theater in order to watch something.

I don't think there's a one size fits all solution here.
