I have found the App Store to be so unlike anything the Steve Jobs envisioned or even a representative as an Apple product. This is not the first time that the App Store has been a problem for me, plus the last time I e-mailed them for support online, with the online acknowledgement that my e-mail was received, I never received a reply from the the App Store.

The App Store is no different than any other means of distributing commercial software, and IMO the only people that will complain about it are probably not going to pay for shareware anyway.

Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.
I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me.
Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.
It's not the $1 here or the $4.99 there:
It's all of them added up over time that keeps many of us from availing ourselves of your programs, especially when we can't try them out first.
P.S. I am a huge fan of this company...still...
