I was looking at Skype's developer zone and something similar seems to happen there: like Apple, their documentation is well done and clear and they seem to really make sure all the info is there to build some plug-ins and stuff like that around Skype.
But if you look at the "Extras" section (the equivalent of the App Store), almost all of them have a rating of 3 out of 5 with thousands of votes for only hundreds of downloads and rarely more than 5 comments. It just doesn't make any sense and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to find the good ones.
Apple is doing a little bit better on the ratings side but still, there have been many complaints about how difficult it is to get out of the pack for a developer and nothing seems to be done.
It's too bad to make the whole development easy but not making the last step as polished as the rest.
One thing too is that it's bad for the developers who are trying to have their work recognized but it's also bad for customers who don't really care so much for the one-shot apps.
