Mac Apps

I shorthanded my response to the app store on twitter tonight as "meh." Same interface as the App Store on iPad, which to me is creaky and cranky, and I am very concerned that this is going to have a chilling effect on independent software development for the Mac platform, and as noted in the Lifehacker article, the ideas of free full-feature trials and cut price upgrades for long-term users and other promotional tactics which are now undercut by the cache of being in the Store.
