As long as the App Store isn't the only way to put software on my Mac, sounds like a great idea to me.

I heard Steve specifically say something along the lines of "it's not the only way" when introducing the Mac App Store.
Now consider frequent updates consisting of a full download of the whole suite for every little update, rather than a little patch or bundle.
That will be in Lion + 1. Gotta warm the users up to it, first.
Which sounds like a pretty good selling point for future Macs, no?
Since steve jobs explicitly said this is not going to be the only way to install software, all this speculation is dishonest.
The funny thing is, he shouldn't have had to say that. You should know apple well enough (Rather than listen to the nonsense from the nondevelopers who are bosting page views by bashing apple) to know that apple would never force people to only buy mac software via the appstore.
