How is this better than the Apple App Store? As soon as you have multiple ones, nobody knows which one to trust.

How is this better than the Apple App Store? As soon as you have multiple ones, nobody knows which one to trust.
- riffraff 12y agoI don't think it's the same, you'd only have to trust one extra source for the new appstore (2? 3?), not one for each installed software. E.g. I trust the macports maintainers, even if I don't verify the sources for each thing I get through `port install`.
- gress 12y agoSure but using macports implies a level of technical understanding to evaluate trustworthiness. Most end users don't have that, and so they could just as easily be convinced to trust the CNET App Store.
