>>>Every app feels like it was designed and built specifically for Loki... Yes, but unfortunately there are only half a dozen or so Elementary native apps... and they're pretty much all just "viewers" (in some sense of the word) for existing content. If you want to actually do any work, you'll have to install something from the Ubuntu repos —at which point, bang goes your visually consistent OS. The screenshot of Elementary's App Store is also a bit disingenuous. Again, it looks nice, but there's nothing in it, apart from what came with the default install. I do like the notion behind Elementary and was excited to come across it a couple of years back. But the lack of progress on the app front killed it for me and I went back to Ubuntu (Mate). With each new release of Elementary, my interest is momentarily piqued again —until I read the release notes and see that (tweaks aside) there is nothing new here. Elementary is an (admittedly very pretty) desktop environment, with some well designed alerts and preference panes, but it's a long way short of what I'd consider qualifies as a complete Linux distro.
