Open source projects would be banned. Firefox would be an example of a service that would get axed from OSX.
There are quite a few little programs people use that break out of the walled garden.
Under the walled rules MS Office not be allowed nor would many programs we use.
Any IDE would be banned as well.
This is just massive speculation.
Cabel from Panic who’s been making Mac software for years had this to say
2¢: I figured Apple would go Mac App Store-only. Gatekeeper is an investment of time and effort to ensure the opposite: secure indie apps.
Gatekeeper is also almost exactly what Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster suggested - http://blog.wilshipley.com/2011/11/real-security-in-mac-os-x-requires.html He, as well as other developers were concerned was concerned the sandboxing restrictions that Apple was about to enforce were not a good solution for developers or for users.
These are two of the best and most respected indie Mac developers.
