I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question (it can be moved if need be). I wanted to ask what Evan thought about the prospect of Apple's announcement for their Mac App Store. I read various commentaries and opinions on it, but not from an actual developer.
I would love to hear your initial thoughts (I know its still early to know what it will untimely look like). Here are my particular questions:
(1) Are you excited or apprehensive about it?
(2) Do you think it will effect you either profitably or adversely to a large degree?
(3) Do you think you will eventually be selling SCX through the store? How would updates work then? Trial versions?
(4) What about the guidelines (as they appear to be right now)? Would your application qualify or be disqualifed?
(5) Finally, are you afraid at all about what this "might lead to" as far as Apple and their control and future decisions?
OK, so if not these questions, how about just a quick "off the cuff" thoughs about the Mac App Store?

PS
This article got me thinking. So I came here to ask:

Anyway, I think it will turn out to be a good thing - I mean look at the iOS App store!
Obviously I can't submit Spell Catcher X right now - the rules are too restrictive. But hopefully the rules will evolve to allow (perfectly supported, documented, and legal) things like input methods and services, and then it will be time to give it a try.
