@stroughtonsmith @schwa So will you refuse to run whole classes of useful software that are not permissible by Apple? Backup? Disk repair?

@danielpunkass @stroughtonsmith frankly - yes. And I think most users will feel the same way.

@schwa @stroughtonsmith So what will you do when you would ordinarily have run a disk repair utility? Go to somebody who is willing to run?

@danielpunkass @stroughtonsmith that’s a bad example. Apple provides the only reliable disk repair sw. Diskwarrior hasn’t really been viable

@schwa I can't agree with you on that choice of example. DiskWarrior has been superior for my needs. /cc @danielpunkass @stroughtonsmith

@siegel @schwa @stroughtonsmith SpamSieve is another example where Apple's solution falls appallingly short.

@danielpunkass and I think most typical consumers won’t bother with anything outside the store these days despite indie dev’s outcries.

@schwa my parents called too often for SpamSieve update issues. Switched to Mail.app MAS apps. easier for them. Way way easier for me.
