The accounting software I develop [1] is a year out of date on the Mac App Store because of the restrictions that Apple have introduced.
And yet I disagree with Marco: This is a one-time problem as Apple tighten requirements for publishing on the Mac App Store. In a few years users will have forgotten this problem (if they ever noticed in the first place) and the benefits of the Mac App Store will make it the dominant distribution platform. Those benefits are: easy to make a purchase, easy to see reviews for a product, easy to find a product, easy to install on multiple machines.
Eventually I'll have to change the software to meet Apple's stricter requirements so it can be published on the Mac App Store again.
