The killer feature for me would be if there was a setting to

you can do this with a free third party tool, AppFresh; i have used it for a
while (though i haven't trusted it to replace applications after download),
and i like it, but usually the in-app updates mechanisms have suited me very
well
Good point, AppFresh works well, but at most with the MAS it will
alert you that updates are ready. If it can actually kick off the
process with no intervention I'll be thrilled.
i guess it remains to be seen, as AppFresh is not on a speedy devel
timeline, and the MAS has only just launched; however i doubt Apple
wants anyone else involved with MAS
Can AppFresh automatically install updates? Or does it just present the list?
And I'll add the note that in my experience AppFresh behaves when
replacing applications. If it doesn't know how to replace the app, it
leaves the installer or DMG in the Downloads folder. I've never
experienced a botched update.
that's good to know, but if you've done that, then i'm not sure what you
meant with your questions in the previous paragraph -- it handles
"updates" by getting fresh copies of apps, which is good enough for me
for those that don't autoupdate when i use them
