I'm fed up with this nanny state app store model. As a hacker I feel like I have an obligation to fight this trend. I'm committed to a couple of iOS projects right now but when they wrap I'm going to take a very hard look at getting back on the open web.

Damn straight. My macbook sits unused in another state because I made the same decision a year or so ago. I don't miss it, in fact I _prefer_ my GNU/Linux netbook.

What does your laptop brand have to do with your choice of mobile development? MacBooks are quite good linux machines if you want to go that road.

The Mac App store is troubling these days too - locking non-MAS apps out of iCloud, for instance.

I picked up the macbook and an ipod touch to get into ios development. Then things got even worse with the app store policies and I said "screw that".
