^ This exactly.
It's demonstrative of the knee-jerk reactions from people who see the mere mention of the words 'Apple' or "App Store" and immediately come to piss all over everybody's cereal without actually knowing the full story.
All I see are baseless assumptions coupled with a condescending, know-it-all tone from those unwilling to engage with either OP's points, more prone to redefine the discussion to allow their soapboxing. Worse, it's delivered with a tone that screams "oh, the silly thing, why didn't they come to me first? I could have told them better!".
Pardon the rant but it gets tiresome in every damn thread about anything vaguely Apple-related.

Through that influence, they ruined the openess of mp3 players, GUIs, and then cellphones. Now the writing is on the wall: personal computers are next. Forgive me if I care about this stuff.
- zapzupnz 6y agoI'm happy for you to care about this as much as you want. It doesn't make the basically ignoring all the OP wrote in their article for the sake of soapboxing any more tolerable.
