What I get from this article is a) apt-get is awesome and b) there's subcategories in the launcher. I completely agree that apt-get is great, and subcategories aren't bad either. However, this has nothing to do with "app stores." apt-get has been around way before the ubuntu software center, and if anything it goes way deeper than just "apps." If anything, this article is just bringing up the point that software management on linux (for the more technically inclined) is better than on mac, something that isn't quite exciting or new. I think articles like these are just looking for trouble. It immediately stands as being biased, and screenshots completely skew things in Ubuntu's favor. Seriously, "pushiness?" It's a bad thing now to be showing users applications on the home page of a store? Maybe it might get cluttered, but I definitely don't prefer Ubuntu's "Nice clean and unassuming" main page with just a category listing. "The listing is pretty simple?" Now you're just looking for things to say; I'm going to end my comment here before I make the same mistake.
