I don't really understand your reply. All the developers I've quoted have been extremely successful, even on XBLA. Outside of Team Meat, who were angry because they believed they'd been lied to and mislead about promotions, most of the developers are unhappy about the experience itself.
Even then, we aren't just talking about "Microsoft is hard to deal with," we're talking about "Microsoft is the hardest to deal with." Big difference, and an important one in a competitive environment.
