FWIW, I love buying stuff from the Mac App Store and I wish all my favorite Mac apps were available there. I love the automatic updates, I feel safer with the sandboxing, and I appreciate the convenience of visiting a single point to download almost everything I want to put on a new Mac.
I also cherish having control over subscription renewals from one list and the Apple's easy refund process in the event of a third-party app not turning out to be worth the money (or an outright scam).
And as a dev I like knowing that anything I publish will be available to all Mac users.
I do hate the crappy App Store.app UI though. Feels like navigating a clunk web page, and why the fluff did they remove the download progress stats?? You have to hit F4 to see the actual size/downloaded numbers in the Launchpad (or in the Applications folder I guess).
