This title is misleading. Sure, there are development quips here and there, but I don't think it's more than any other language/platform. "Apple puts usability first" would be more appropriate. Recent news and dissent from developers has been largely around political moves and gestapo tactics to keep its property exactly as it wants it. Consider a number of issues in which it isn't putting its users first * taking 30% of all subscription fees, effectively a pass-through tax or killer-of-app in some cases (think Pandora) * not allowing you to pay for digital forms of physical manifestations with in-app purchases (think concert tickets) * not allowing you to run unauthorized apps even if you sign your life away that you know the risks What's most sad about the loss of potential is that we never know what we're missing out on because it's too much of a business risk. There are many companies that are still looking at the App store with trepidation - beautiful, useful, life-changing things are inevitably lost (won't come to market through the App Store) and nobody will ever know what they "could" have had. That, in my opinion, is the saddest of all the injustices.
