Typically if someone wants to obscure code, I've found that it's the
part of the code that is responsible for distinguishing the paying
users from the demo users. (e.g. shareware registrations, or product
registration keys, or checking the network to see if other copies of
the same app are active with the same license key).
In my experience, this portion of your code will in fact be analyzed
by someone, and it is in your best interest to make it obscure.
For other portions of your app, I tend to agree that no one cares.
Unless money is involved somehow :)

NEWS FLASH: no one gives a damn about other peoples code
(statistically
speaking). I wonder at all these companies and developers who are so
concerned someone might want to look at their code. Get over
yourselves.
Your code isn't that interesting, and isn't that good!
As others have pointed out, if someone really, really wants to
crack it,
they will. Just look at the iPhone.
