On: Benefits of Selling Outside the Mac App Store

That's my preference. You didn't understand what the target market is. I tried to explain it to you but obviously didn't understand it.

There's no such target market as "the average user". That's usually a condescending fiction used by techies. The line of thought is something like:

"Of course I do interesting stuff on my computer, but the average person doesn't. All they need is X."

Importantly, X is never defined by asking actual users, but is simply a distillation of prejudice about the needs of "the common people".
