I’ve managed to learn quite a bit from my modest days of Hello World. It’s not quite a studio level effort yet, but I’m only one person.

These do not exist on other platforms. Of course, you have to get a Mac to program the iPhone. Complaints about this are like complaining you have to get a Sony Playstation and a PC to program the Playstation. You can’t program the Playstation on a Mac. Horses for courses – as a developer, you have to purchase the tools you need for the job. The cost of entry is miniscule compared to the cost of developing for Playstation.
