Coincidentally, looking for a trustworthy open source Web browser solution (I'm on a rampage this weekend, after Mozilla misalignment last straw), I just had to allude to what seemed like Apple's attitudes towards developers ranging from indifference to hostility, throughout the iOS developer experience:
(I'm sure there are some great people working on parts of Apple, and doing great work. But would they say that the holistic experience, as well as various business moves by Apple, are currently third-party developer-friendly? With the platform power Apple wields, and often heavy-handedly, I think that needs to be acknowledged.)
From my three years of experience as a developer of iOS applications, this is the root cause.
