Breaking news: artsy website with animations - HN doesn't like it. People over here have such a hard-on for efficiency and speed. I'll give it to you, transitions are on the long side - I wouldn't mind the transitions taking

Fair enough. My answer was mostly that it's far from the first time I see this "Why bother developing X, Y exists" argument, and it's rarely a good one. Alternatives drive innovation. Relying too much on a single solutio

You're extrapolating here. Maybe I was not clear enough. I've never found Spotify's interface to be that bad, but have the same sentiment you hold for Spotify towards Google Play Music.

The "RPi is for nerds" shtick is specifically what they're probably trying to get rid of with that store. Looking approachable is a pretty key component of that. Doesn't really look like an Apple Store either, unless woo
