The support Palm has shown the homebrew community has been great. They've been smart enough to realize that guys like me who install Filecoaster know what we're doing and the risks we're taking, and that the other 99% of their users won't know or care. It's been fun watching the apps I've used improve before they get into the app store. Homebrew is the developer's dream because there's no bureaucracy between you and the customer. You can use an agile development cycle of releasing the app widely, getting feedback, improving, etc., and the rapid improvements I've seen have been validation of that. I really don't know why Apple doesn't do this. They're only hurting their developers, and therefore themselves, in the long run.
