Off the top of my head...

1. App trial periods

2. Paid app upgrades

3. App Store search results that are actually relevant

4. Ability to respond to negative reviews

5. Mac App Store sand boxing that doesn't suck

Of course, there are many more issues but the primary problem is that Apple has addressed exactly zero of these issues and the App Store itself is virtually unchanged after 5+ years.

Right, Swift had one very specific and timely request for a new product. That's not comparable to, "There's a bunch of stuff that's needed fixing for years."
