Since I was looking into cleaning up my Mac anyway (I needed iTunes to go away, since I don’t use it and hate it with a passion), I decided to see what would happen if I were to remove the Mac App Store as well. However, there will inevitably be people like me who don’t want to have anything to do with the Mac App Store, and just want the damn thing to go away. Most people apparently don’t care about ugly and inconsistent user interfaces, and the added benefit of central control over your applications will most likely make those that do accept it as a necessary evil.
The Mac App Store will most likely be accepted and used by most Mac users without much problems. Now that the Mac App Store has been snuck installed onto your machine alongside Mac OS X 10.6.6, you might be wondering – is there some way to remove that monstrosity of an application from my Mac? While it’s not officially supported, it does seem like Apple has taken this scenario into account.
