raises small hand sheepishly :) I didn't like the old system at all: I'm very happy that Apple has finally deemed a good idea to release the review policies. However I would have much rather seen Apple giving users another way to install their apps, and turned the store into a nice, curated, deal. In particular I am a bit worried about floods of badly designed apps, maybe because they used some cross-platform framework. Sure, I can ignore those, but the point is that it will still increase the noise/signal ratio. Mmm... maybe Apple should have a tiered system in the App store. Hence why I thought that if they allowed anyone to install any app they want some other way (even though with big signs saying "DANGER DANGER") then they could keep curating the app store without risking anyone's anger. But, oh well... shrugs edit: actually as jdz2 said above, as long as they keep curating the new apps, I don't really care if they were built from CS5 or brainfuck... but the first point is important.
