> The fact that there are apps that the author considers embarrassing is a good thing, it proves how easy it is to develop for the system. Imho, this is not always a good thing. I think that Apple's decision to force developers to use ObjectiveC actually drove the app quality up - making the development process "just a bit harder" than it should forces developers to think more before "just coding it" and also keeps the bad developers away. (Of course, the "just a bit harder" is a hard equilibrium to get and Apple only pulled the trick by being the first to show up and swallow a big chunk of the market pie so what's allowed for them is not allowed for others...)
