Negative tech press and negative popular press are different things. When the tech press disparages you, that will likely have no correlation at all to how either the public or the developers see you. When the popular press say something bad about you, the public's opinion will start to shift, and then the developers will feel justified in changing their minds to a greater extent. To put it another way: the tech press has said bad things about every version of Windows. The popular press only said bad things about Vista.

I'm not an app developer, but I'd be quite surprised if the tech press Apple has been getting has not discouraged developers or potential developers to some extent.
