It could be a lot more expensive

I welcome the $4.99 with the rule that it has good support and updates. If it gives apple a little more incentive to reply to dev feedback and make changes, totally worth it. If not, well ... fu.

True, it's only $4.99
Next, you'll start seeing your favorite apps gone, one by one. But not to worry, they're all available in the app store!
3x Faster, 2.5x More Efficient, and an Immeasurable cunning attempt to deceptively nickel and dime you for things that used to be free.
Don't be an idiot. It's not the price, it's the principal.

Just for reference, one user license for TextMate is €45. If Apple wants to charge $5 for XCode 4 to those outside the Apple Dev Program that's surely not such a big deal yea? And . . . Fonts are far more expensive.

I was a massive fan of Apple before, but this is the last straw really. Fuck the app store and fuck them nickel and diming us.
I now have to fucking pay to get a stable compile environment for Mac Open Source software? What the fuck are MacPorts etc users supposed to do.
It's not like OS X is the worlds number 1 platform, charging for developer tools just means the end of free good software on the mac.
