Funny... I both like and hate the app store. I like it when the apps I want are there, mostly because they install with one click and update automatically and I don't have to worry about it. But I hate it as a developer. I've found that such conflicting feelings come up when I'm dealing with a poor solution to a nevertheless real set of problems. I think app stores in general are that -- they are a freedom-restricting, tax-extracting, capability-limiting solution to a set of problems around security, software package management, and quality control that could be solved much more intelligently.
