Making it take some pain for developers is precisely what makes it valuable. If you could automate signing up for a developer account and didn’t have to put up some cash it would lose all value as a trust signal.
- stephc_int13 5mo agoThe cash part is not even the worst, even if this is obviously ridiculous for free/open source projects. The bad UX is really what irks me. Enough that I may entirely opt-out of the Apple ecosystem forever, and I don't think I am the only one feeling that way.

Every release they change stuff that I sometimes don't like and there's no options to switch things. Opinionated design. I was pretty aligned with apple's vision in macOS tiger but around Maverick/Sierra things started getting too misaligned with my own needs. I'm so happy I moved to KDE which has options for everything. It was a breath of fresh air when I moved and it still is, every day.
