Yes it is the passing of the tools and the ease of getting
everything to work and coupled with the integration that really
hurts the novice. One thing I fail to understand is, If Apple is
going to kill these tools why not just pass them on to the WO
community here and let you people make them better if you want.
One very good reason is that they depend on and require system
libraries (aka frameworks) that are no longer part of OS X (as of
Leopard). Apple can not (for very valid reasons) release these
system libraries as Open Source. Without them, the apps are of
little value.
