Your last point is a big reason why mobile/tablet systems have become so popular, and why that technology set will filter back towards desktop computing. Managed apps (package managed installs, one click install/update/uninstall) plus seamless app hibernation and resumption are overall a big win for usability.
- digi_owl 11y agoThe former has exited in one form or another for ages. As for the other, personal experience indicates that it is of questionable value at best. I have seen way too many apps either not come back up, or come back up in some insane state. As such i consider it no better than the autosave on a wordprocessor.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoI don't see how mobile systems come close to what I've described. I never mentioned package management, either.
