I've seen this discussed in a few different places today. The Bare Bones applications show up as being installed while some other third party applications, such the ones from The Omni Group, do not. The consensus seems to be that where the bundle id in the app on the App Store is the same as the one installed on your Mac it shows up as installed, but once they don't match, then they will show up as being available for purchase. It doesn't sound like the apps we already have installed on our Macs will be upgraded via the App Store, but rather upgrades will only happen for applications purchased through the Mac App Store. That's not a huge problem for most of us, but it could be a bit confusing. In any event, I love the fact that I can point people to where they go can install TextWrangler from the App Store and it will easily upgradable in the future for them as well as an easy way to purchase BBEdit once they outgrow its features.
