As Apple’s website gets more content, they need a lot of help. Navigating the Dev Center docs is confusing and full of broken links as the site gets updated so often.
The iOS platform has enabled web-aware native apps on mobile platform in place of websites, but would be nice if Apple come out with a development framework+IDE aimed directly for the web that is not the obscure technology they use now or based on Cocoa/Objective-C, and something better than Dashcode and iWeb.
Then the war with Google, Adobe, and MSFT will really be on. Though I kind of doubt Apple will take that direct route… Yet.

Agree with acid we really do need a straightforward way of utilising these new technologies in producing content and sites for the web. iWeb is fantastic but well short of being able to take advantage of all the possibilities that Apple itself is promoting. There needs to be an integrated approach connecting a range of software new or updated that web developers can exploit in a focused way. At the moment it seems rather like alchemy and strangely out of step for a company that prides itself on powerful but simple to exploit technology, software, services and interfaces.
