Trying? It virtually is already.

Want to put out some software and not pay the $99/year Developer Fee and still have a simple install process for your users? Good luck with that.

Install Brew

Brew install whatever you need.

Apple is doing a decent job here. Art Student gets a very easy to use computer with a safe app store.

Comp Science student can compile and install whatever they need.

Those are the pertinent words. Yes, folks like us have no issue going to Terminal.app and `brew install whatever`, but most "regular" users are going to baulk at that idea.
