iCloud’s First Six Months: Developers Weigh In

Federico Viticci surveys iOS developers on the iCloud storage APIs:

The general consensus among developers is that, while users “love” iCloud when it works, iCloud integration has also quickly become the #1 source of support requests over the past months. When iCloud doesn’t work, users are frustrated, annoyed, and there’s little developers can do without proper debugging tools and detailed error messages.

Is iCloud better — for either developers or users — than Dropbox? I’d say “not yet”.
