Re: Tempting for devs?
I do, though there are ways round that....
I've been doing some tests with B4i, which is a dialect of Basic that runs under Windows, and can create an app for iOS. If you have a Mac, you can use that to do the final build with XCode, but there's also a hosted build service you can use instead (which I do, as my Mac is still on Snow Leopard).
You can then use a service like MacInCloud to do the final upload to the Apple Store.
You can find out more about it (and the Android equivalent) at B4x.com.
Doubtless some purists would be horrified at this approach, but it does work; I've knocked up a couple of fairly reasonable apps using B4A, because at my time of life, I'm buggered if I'm going to start dicking around with Java. Or Objective C.
