    They also charge developers for the privilege of compiling their programs for Apple platforms* (and using one of the worst IDEs known to man).

    ^(*Yes, you can technically compile apps with a free account, but AFAIK they will be restricted to only run on the developer’s machines unless you shell out $99 a year.)
