The problem with Mathematica for serious development is that you need Mathematica to run the stuff. So if you write a gadget/utility, only people with Mathematica can run it.

This is an attempt to get deeper penetration into the hobbyist market.

You can freely distribute your UI-based 'gadgets' and what not using Mathematica Player, which is a free download. http://www.wolfram.com/products/player/
