Man, do I hate that ridiculously complicated certificate system. I wonder how many first-timers don't recognize this as a bug and in frustration think "This is ridiculous, let me try again tomorrow".

I'm not a first timer, but I recently signed up for a developer account and went to set it up last night. I spent a few hours getting angry and trying everything I knew to make it work, until I went to the Apple Dev forums and saw a post about it.

It's so complicated that I couldn't tell if it was broken or if I was doing something wrong.

You think it's bad now, it was awful when it started out. There was little to no documentation, so getting an app on a device generally entailed clicking random buttons for a few hours until things somehow worked.

It has gotten a little bit easier with the XCode4 Developer console, but yeah .. the certification process is one hell of a way to weed out the truly devoted from the casual.
