Never appeared developing tank for APS film？

Even when I started photography in the early 1970s one had to process one's own B&W film as reliable processing and printing were not easily found. APS, by preventing the photographer from developing and printing the film, was, in my opinion, the worst photographic invention of our time.

No doubt about it but it was invented as a convenience for the consumers. I like the fact that APS enables a shooter to swap film rolls easily.

I like the idea behind APS. Though I see only little benefit in reducing the film width with respect to the achieved camera size reduction. A 35mm APS Cassette would not have needed much bigger cameras.
