You didn't get an API on EveGate because the team responsible had zero idea of Social Networking and technologies available.
They rolled their own solution which is Web 0.0001a.
The design of the site is using such an old way of thinking that it will never be updated to include API.
This choice was made early in the piece. Instead of deciding to use technology that would allow oAuth API,
Authentication and all the shinny Web2.0 stuff, they went with a solution that can never include any of that.
EveGate failed day-1 of planning when ego took over from logic.
If their solution is Web 0.0001a, yours is Web -1.

Comparing a single-user frontend to a text file, to a social network..... I can see that lol

I have to agree with Doc Battlesmith here.
Social networksd are fail, therefore EVE Gate is fail.
If CCP feels that they really need this s***, they should have left that to the community instead wasting tons of time and money on web monkeys. Create some decent APIs and the community will take care of the rest. Better than CCP ever will and can do.

Not so much that social networks are fail, they work really well at what they do.
Just CCP completely missed the point.
If they had gone with the open standards that all social networks are now running they're be winning.
One small example:
Recently CCP announced that they won't be adding a killboard, obviously not enough time.
If it were an OpenSocial container there would already be 10 player created killboards.
If it included OpenID we'd have 1-click authentication of 3rd party apps without API keys.

Oh yes, they work really well in giving away your private data to everyone who's willing to pay and make money off your work/data.

A team is responsible for a feature long after it's on TQ; the whole point is that a particular team has the domain knowledge and should and is responsible for that domain going forward. The trouble comes with fitting the work into a schedule, but then I'm sure that's something alot of you can understand 
Is there a "team" responsible for the API domain? If not, was that an oversight or a conscious decision by management?
