I am a bit split on that one. I see the convenience of using the app store, but I try to buy directly if I can. I lot of tools for power users have problems with scripting when containerized, direct purchases are much more convenient if I need to buy an upgrade license (which means cheaper in the long run) and developer gets more money that way.
- webmobdev 6y agoYes, this is the far-sighted approach. Apple with its app store currently acts like a corrupt-middle-man-bureaucrat because it forces itself between the developer and the seller and demands a bribe from both for the "privilege" to develop / use an app. This means less profit for the developer, higher price for the user, and a violation of your privacy rights by Apple (apart from profiteering).
