Quote: "Apple’s control over its app ecosystem is a new type of monopoly..." Very poor choice of words, it's their walled garden, nobody's holding a gun to your head to go there, especially since Android's walled garden is growing bigger by the day while Apple's one is shrinking. Here is a better choice of words: "-Let it shrink, I couldn't care less". As a freelancer I always say to my clients they have a choice of whatever they like between big 4's (Win/Droid/iOS & MacOS/Linux) but in reality I do it quietly on Win and Droid 1st, then during the final stages I kinda forget about the other 2. If any of them is asking, I have other means to stop them going there. I don't like Apple and I don't like Linux. Apple for reasons including those in the article as well plus more, and Linux for their snobbish. Until both of them will act pro-customer and non-anti-developer I will be against them as well, and I am not the only one. There is a reason why Win is king in desktop (backward compatibility & pro-developer) and Droid is king in mobile (non-anti-developer, though lately Google is kinda of following in Apple's footsteps here). And I know I am not the only one with this mindset.
