Comment on Apple’s Mac App Store: Gateway for OS X Freemium? by compulsionstar

i agree if this becomes an exclusive way to put application on the new OSX count me out of Lion. i will stick to Snow leopard for as long as i can. We already have systems like macports, homebrew, and fink for us mac geeks and that is kind of annoying as it is. If there wasn't already an ideological balancing act in the linux community, I don't think Apple taking it and saying that it is just like a rpm or synaptic package systems but monitoring and censoring it is really helps. Isn't one great part of OSX just the fact that you can just drag an application into the applications folder and be done with it without the hassle of an installer or a package manager like linux? seems it's over complicating it or just being a little too power hungry.
