That's probably because the risk is just as high, if not higher, with apps
from large corporations. Do you seriously think dollar-focused company
boards worry more about their users than small developers?

Let me get this straight: The app has been a boon to you for many, many
years. The author told you a Lion-compatible version is on the way. But
because it hasn't turned up within the first couple of weeks, you're black
banning every small developer on the planet. Way to go. Presumably you're
not banning apps from big companies because lots of them haven't even
promised Lion-compatible versions.
