- toyg 9y agoI like it quite a bit, even applied for the related dev-advocacy job (and was resoundingly ignored; rightly so, I might add). It removes the complexity layer of having to deal with multiple packaging systems, and it isolates the app at the user level which helps with dependencies. The only issue I see, really, is that it does not appeal to the traditional Linux userbase, the greybeards and neckbeards who are used to all the packaging esoterica. It’s a user-friendly concept that happens to be very developer-friendly too, but has no appeal for the sysadmin crew, which is still the majority in Linux land. So it risks being ignored.
