Sigh. How can this be Hacker News and folks not get the obvious strategy from Apple on OS X and iOS. The App Store and Gateway have nothing to do with any desire of Apple to penalize or restrict power users. It's ONLY purpose is to give a sense of familiarity to iOS users.

Because now, it's Apple's job to bring into the Macintosh family the 50 million iOS users who expect a device from Apple to work at all times and for a large variety of software which is vetted by Apple to be at a mouse click. No installation, no malware, no fancy configuration necessary.

It just works is migrating from iOS to OS X. Power users had better get used to it.
