Commenting to offset the negativity:
I'm looking forward to flatpak, and I currently use firejail + liberal use of `chromium --user-data-dir=~/.config/chromium-<website>`.
Because web-app based software and web-services I frequently interact with (slack, gitter, discord, twitter) should absolutely be separated from my general browser, and from each other. Most methods of web tracking and phishing/XSS attacks will be neutered in this setup.
And because my browser, and all of these separated services, should not have unfettered access to my system and personal files.
I don't think I will bother with containers for general software, but web services are an attack vector and should be treated as such, even at the expense of complexity over simplicity.
Frankly, the notion of simplicity was out the window the moment we started using the web as a development platform.
