If less effort, more money and no consequences is an option, then why not?

"I don't write apps for cash" is orthogonal to the question of which one do you think would make you the most money if you did write one. If this was a checkbox question instead of radio buttons I wouldn't object but since it is...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

because apple users enjoy spending more than they need in order to be able to prefix their devices with an 'i' ( i wonder if that's and ego-thing?)
So, they'll be willing to pay more to get stuff - and in order to protect their warranty, they'll get it from some kind of apple store, which, limiting their options, is another way to keep the price up.
Also, there's the intangible: I own only an iNothing - so exploiting the iSpenders, relieving them of iCash is iRonically satisfying.
I am not Member 2529110 - but the system seems to insist upon logging me in as such, even following care to log-off, remove cookies, and try again. I've spent a lot of effort alienating people and don't want to have to do it again!

I agree with Dave Rutvik that a category of "Runs In the Cloud" would have been a useful criterion, although I suspect that criterion would be best discriminated by a "rate from 1 to 10" type question.
I also think that breaking out developing for Windows into Windows 7-8-8+ Desktop, and Windows 8-8+ RT/Store, would be useful.
The most significant missing category, imho, is: the up-and-coming (if you believe the hype) combination of any, or all of: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, Node, Angular, BackBone, etc.

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

I'm changing jobs soon and will be learning C# for Xamarin, which compiles to native code for iOS and Android (I'm currently a native Objective-C iOS developer). So that might be an option.
And according to this article [^] even HTML5 generates more income per app than Android, so learning Android might not be worth it

Dunno - it's pretty expensive, starting at $299 per year, and difficult to evaluate otherwise since the free version is so stupidly limited it can just about cope with "hello world" but get beyond that and it won't let you do much.
The actually useful version which works in VS starts at $999 per year! which means shelling out a fair amount of money just to see if it's any good...

True. However, Android users generally don't spend money on apps - I don't think Android is a promising platform when it comes to commercial success.

We need to work on changing users mentality since paid application are worth it. This is the point were Android should focus on next.

They don't have to - most of the free apps on android are ad supported.
You can make some serious money that way: Flappy Bird[^] made it's creator $50,000 per day

But Android devices are 5 x more than iOS
I go by the says Sell a lot and profit a little per each sell, so on long term when selling a lot of it I will make more profit of it.

Are we calling programs on Windows 7 "apps" as well now?
|
|
|
|

Does't "apps" mean "applications"... I have always called them that
There is nothing to see here, move along

To me apps are small programs that almost always take a fraction of the time or skill to produce versus a full desktop application. As a programmer who writes desktop applications using the term "app" for my software I would consider derogatory.

We are talking about the use of the word "app" in the survey title. It has nothing to do with how you personally jump to judgement over the use of a word rather than bothering to consider what somebody might mean when they use that word.
If somebody said "oh I bet that desktop application was knocked up in very little time and took very little skill" then fair enough, take it as an insult. But if you take offence by somebody using the word "app" then that's just a bit silly in all honesty.
Not to mention I have wrote plenty of desktop applications that have taken a fraction of the time and skill that would be involved in some of the more well-developed apps you might find on mobile marketplaces. It goes both ways.

It's quite likely that the poll writer was canadian, e.g. you have to read it with that background. I guess in Canada (and the US) cash also refers to money, or salary.
