Phil Shiller seems to think that developers are happy with Apple’s Review Process: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2009/tc20091120_354597.htm

Furthermore he believes that developers are actually happy to have Apple supervise them :

“Most [applications] are approved and some are sent back to the developer.

Developers are generally glad to have this safety net because usually Apple’s review process finds problems they actually want to fix”
