Apple has provided the easiest way to deal with the problem, if a program stinks you probably delete it right away, and now with the popup that says "Please rate this application" ~ guess what, 1 star. Likewise, they have given good apps a way to stay on top. Let's say everyone loved your app and didn't delete it, so they were never given choice for an easy rate. Great, then with the next update, all those users count towards your new ranking when they upgrade their application. So you climb the charts faster and higher than before.
I don't think the system is perfect by any means, but being upset about a crappy program doing better than yours is a waste of time. Just keep working hard, because those months of hard work will pay off. Or maybe not. The gold rush is on, but it is limited to a few. And in the end, some great programs will never get noticed but I really doubt people will be retiring off of crap programs.
One last thought, how many horrible games did you buy for the xbox, play station, Nintendo, etc. And you probably spent 40-60 bucks on those games. Just because someone marketed a game as good, doesn't mean you'll like it. That's true for movies, books, restaurants, lawn mowers, toilets, shoes, cars (big time true there), homes and on and on. One might even argue that the iPhone falls into that ... oh wait, all they hype for iPhone is true.
