1) The "/Developer/Applications" folder needs a better, more distinctive

Unfortunately, its Dock-name is simply "Applications", which confuses it
with "/Applications" which I've also dragged into the Dock. This is bad,
and will only get worse.

On the whole, developers (including Apple) must be very careful about
naming things. The Dock DOES NOT show any kind of qualifying name or
context, so names should be INDEPENDENTLY DISTINCT, regardless of context.
I recommend Roget's International Thesaurus, 5th edition or later. And an
unabridged dictionary.

I recommend a bug report. :) You can certainly file bugs against various portions of the Mac OS X user experience, and they will be read. Not all things that you ask for will be changed, but anything that gets repeated often enough does generate notice.

2) The design of MRJAppBuilder leaves much to be desired, even for a
developer-oriented tool.

Please file bugs against MRJAppBuilder as well. We've already improved it quite a bit since Mac OS X GM, but we certainly might not have caught everything you requested. And I hate to mention this, but please write a separate bug for each issue -- that makes it much easier to track what's been fixed and what hasn't.

Thanks,
Eric
