I had to use both 3.2 and 4.x in my last operation and 4 was/is definitely more of a nightmare IMHO.
One of the major PITA factors that crosses both is the cert/license/provisioning/distribution issue(s). That needs to be MAJORLY streamlined.
Why do we select "archive" when we want to build an app for deployment/distribution?
