Support from popular apps absolutely is a problem for the platform. It might not be caused by them, but it is their problem. The user doesn't care who's fault it is, they're just going to go with the combination which works for them.
- vetinari 6y agoWhile I agree, that support for popular apps is a problem for platform, it doesn't mean that the platform will freeze for every snowflake app. Apple for example regularly uses pressure from users on app authors to drive improvements in their platform. I don't see why Linux distributions should flip backward to keep their platform static, to the detriment of their long term development.
