No kidding. It costs a lot more than 30% to go to market on your own. When you throw in the kind of overnight exposure you get... paying thirty cents on the dollar is a no-brainer.
I dunno. I think it's really just an easy place to find trusted software. It's still not the only place to get stuff from, but it sure beats going to Future Shop or sifting through the pile of crap on shareware sites.
The only question I have is whether or not they will allow the really useful stuff. Video converters, audio utilities, transfer clients, etc etc.
Edit: They have iFlicks and Unison up there. One is for importing ripped or downloaded movies into iTunes, and the other is a newsreader for usenet. That's somewhat promising.
