We were never poisoned. We had the "cure" before the "poison" ever hit us.

No it isn't. It also allows you to make actual apps that have the "look and feel" of Sense. It also allows you to customize Sense and mod it in any way you like. It isn't just making widgets for Sense. Any random Android Widget also works in Sense. You don't need any special SDK to make a Widget that works in Sense.

If not, then let me make it clear for you by saying it myself: you were wrong. Samsung does NOT have an equivalent, and HTC was NOT just merely at best catching up to everyone else. HTC is once again setting the standard and proving that they are the best OEM for the dev community.

What do you mean it doesn't appeal to us? Speak for yourself, it appeals to me a great deal. And I got an email from them that says:
"Hi.
Thanks for your interest HTC and the new developer program being built at htcdev.com. We'll be sure to email you at [email address removed] as soon as the site goes live and when there is other important HTCdev news.
Meanwhile, stay in touch and let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
The HTCdev Team."
Not sure where you are getting your information that A) I am not an app developer, and B) HTCdev is not for me. I'll tell you this: you sure do make a lot of assumptions with not a lot of information to help come to those conclusions.
