Here's a resolution for you - how about writing an article or articles

Thanks for being diplomatic, Vern. The truth is that I really don't like how Apple is handling iOS development. I'm very unhappy with the amount of work I had to go through just to try and set up a simple test environment; something which took less than an hour with Android.

But you're right; I'm not making a judgment on those who do care to write for iOS; as always it's a business decision. But my decision is that the startup costs don't justify the effort ... for ME.
