That's only a valid turn of phrase in a utopian environment. Rarely is the world like that.Whatever happened to the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you"?

"don't bite any hands" would be utopian. "don't bite hands because if you bite hands you will not receive food" is hardly a utopian ideal.That's only a valid turn of phrase in a utopian environment. Rarely is the world like that.
maybe, but you are under no obligation to buy Apple products
If no one bit the hand that feeds there'd be even more inequality and hardship in the world. Sometimes people need to bite to get more food for others. (FWIW I'm all for more regulation of Apple's restrictive practices)"don't bite any hands" would be utopian. "don't bite hands because if you bite hands you will not receive food" is hardly a utopian ideal.
I would not just close the door to a big business of my field just because the distributing company decides to play a bully... and people like you blatantly handing off an all-powerful role to these companies are not helping, there are laws in place that mandate fairness and equal opportunity, good competition.
Totally unrelated comment. The topic is not the quality or features of the app. It is the compliance with security rules. No one will blame Apple if an app is inelegant. They will, however, blame Apple if they get malware.They took what looks like an actually nice piece of software off the store out of what looks like spite, when they should be happy to have any quality software in the rummage sale known as the Mac App Store.
Bringing the iOS app store model to the Mac has ruined good software development on the Mac.
iOS software mentality is that the app is either free or very cheap, it is single purpose, and there are no trials.
And that's what the Mac App Store has now. Junk. There's so much stuff on there that should have never gotten through and that would not exist in the pre-App Store web-based distribution model.
I was looking for an EvoCam replacement on the App Store the other day, and there are so many apps. But it's just junkware. EvoCam was the type of app that was quintessentially Mac. I see less and less of it.
How does Apple hassle this company yet so many scammy anti-virus and memory optimizer type tools are on the App Store that are not relevant to how Macs work?
Honestly a lot of App Store offerings look like products from people just learning to code. They're inelegant and contain misspellings, and they're not the type of vibrant software I used to see in the open web market for Mac apps which seems to be shrinking.
The topic here is security.The reason many external email apps are flourishing is because Apple Mail falls short in many respects - specially for a business user. Apple Mail is good for a home user and serves almost every need for a home user.
When it comes to Business class email, Apple Mail is no match. They used to have templates previously that worked well for canned and repeated emails/responses. That nice feature was removed. One cannot insert {today.date} into the email body. Dynamic elements in the email body is not supported. Organizing emails by projects (or apply tags) is not possible. (Use a third party product like MailTags for it). The list goes on.......
