Saying things like your opinion is worth less than nothing, being all sanctimonious about being able to "defend" the position, and acting like you're somehow the arbiter of what worth is, is what I was referring to by high horse.

> That's a very subjective opinion.

It's not at all subjective. MAS is an entire platform. A .dmg is just a .dmg.

..defensible? why is there even a need to "defend" a position? I, along with others, prefer to avoid the MAS when possible. period. fact. end of discussion. there's nothing more to say. I very rarely pirate software so that has nothing to do with it. it's just a personal preference. deal with it.
