But not all people that can code should code apps. And even more should never attempt UI/UX. It's deplorable and unusable in too many cases.

Not taking up for any mobile OS and/or development workflow here. But in all instances, I can point to some shitty half-baked apps.

And if any of you bring up fart apps, I'll murder a puppy on pay-per-view. That's not what I am talking about.
I don't think that making the actual process of creating helloWorld and submitting it to the store tedious is a sane way of keeping people who shouldn't code away though. And not that ObjC is much better in memory management. Java at least has a gc.
