Really that's a pittance. And it'll keep people from blatantly spamming the App reviewers with garbage.
Yeah but it kind of sucks for open source apps
Distribute Mac apps on the Mac App Store $99/year Hm ..

You can't close apps on the Mac either (you can, but it is only for experts). I guess no uninstalling is just the logical extension of that concept.
I don't follow. Command+Q and AppNameMenu->Quit both disagree with you.
It's easy to understand this, once you realize that window management is app-centric and is organized by Application rather than individual windows but that's a subtle distinction most normal users will not understand on their own.
To compound things, for some apps,closing the window will actually quit the app. And for some, closing the window leaves the app still running in the dock but clicking the dock icon doesn't bring up.
I will say this: Apple is not afraid to leave old technology behind. While website XYZ aims to support multiple versions of every browser, including those released a decade ago (IE6), Apple won't even support Leopard with its new store, which was the version that came with the Mac I got just over a year ago.

Actually, that's a pretty clever optimization for caching, IMO. The user tends to leave apps in memory, leading to much snappier performance on machines with sufficient RAM. EDIT: And if you're savvy, you can always manage memory manually and quit from the top menu or from the Dock.
If the OS is intelligent, the memory doesn't get overwritten until it is needed. Even if an app is completely closed and its process is killed, doesn't it's image still hang around in memory for the next time it is run?
Is it just me or is the .app an abomination of a UI? Why does Apple now have three different window control styles? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20635/Screenshots/r3da.png Why are there back buttons ("like a browser") but you can't click hold to get the contextual drop down? The navigation (Featured, Top Charts, etc) are so far away from the other controls (Back and Forward) its insanely awkward to use. It feels kind of .…
Why does Apple now have three different window control styles? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20635/Screenshots/r3da.png Only three? That makes very consistent interface then. Why are there back buttons ("like a browser") but you can't right hand click to get the contextual drop down? Back buttons are there, you know, to get back. Very common usage pattern. Contextual drop down? Not that common. Even Safari does not have it…
Apparently not common enough to warrant having a back button on the iPhone.
Is anybody else experiencing the same thing on non-US stores?

Seriously... Only three? That makes very consistent interface then. How is three good? Why are we applauding that, when, last week, Apple had two styles? I don't use Windows much but I'm pretty sure 99% of all the applications use the same window elements and style (this one: http://media.arstechnica.com/images/windows7/Peek%20-%20Befo... ) Back buttons are there, you know, to get back. Very common usage pattern. Con…
99% of Mac apps use the same window elements and style too...
