I think this is a bit of an unfair comment. Apple has been constantly improving their App Store. When it launched it was literally a direct port of their Music store over with little thought of how Applications and their use cases actually differ. The first set of requests from the OP makes is more general. Plus, I agree, the store really needs better search, but this will benefit both consumers and developers. Though honestly, search is already 100x better than it was just a couple years ago, so I am not worried they are not aware of that. As far as analytics and review data go, MixPanel and Flurry have been amazing at tracking everything I've ever needed from app usage. The only use case I can see from Apple breaking apart iPad/iPhone from downloads becomes useful only when you have users who install apps but never launch them. I really like the App Store now, it feels very organic with very visible editorializing going on.
