There's been a redonkulous amount of uproar over Apple's filtering of their own store. Often coinciding with people saying the world would be a better place if only Apple would allow their app, and if puppies fell from the sky, and nobody had to go to work, they could just bang on these drums all day.
Granted, it's the only store, so it's a different situation. It's just a nice reversal, where Android fanbois have been ripping on Apple fanbois for having such a closed store, and now the benefit of that closing is being made apparent. There's not much Android ripping here, most people here are at least somewhat geeky, and would love to see Android become bigger and better than iWhatever.
edit: as to the first point, I'll still say "very few", unless drastic steps are made to make it easy to choose from the very first interaction. There's a lot of change-fear out there in normal people - change means you don't know where your favorite button is any more, and it now breaks in new and exciting ways instead of the ones they could somewhat predict.
