An App Store for OSX would be nice. Or even just a repository mechanism - I am so sick of updating the apps on my Mac systems when my multiple Linux boxes are always up-to-date with the latest stable releases.

Its 2010, can we please have an OSX repo mechanism, Apple?

Most OS X apps seem to have this built in. The donkey is somewhat out of the stable with auto-update on OS X, no?

Some apps use third-party libraries like Sparkle to provide this. But it's inconsistent between applications with no guarantee that any given app is updated without user intervention.
