Ubuntu's kinda put the final nail in the coffin switching everything to snappy packages... I bet a lot of people will be switching to eOS because of it. What do you think?
EDIT: Woah, everybody is making some really interesting points about snap. I'm learning a lot, good discussion

+Joaquín Padilla Rivero Fair point. Besides it gives developers also the ~~license~~ power to update their applications without much hustle worrying about which distro and version a user is running. No more "I only release for every new LTS version of Ubuntu." So yes, it becomes easier not to update, but also much easier to actually do it.Apr 25, 2015

+Jan Lukas Gernert Sweet article. I think I like the 'runtime' proposal, I hope it's adopted by elementary. It seems very practical.Apr 25, 2015
I'm not seeing in any of the posts from the systems' developers that they intend to work together between distros. If all that's going to happen is replacing DEVs with snappies and RPMs with sandboxes and the two are not going to talk to each other we're not going to be any better off.Apr 25, 2015
I'd like to hear elementary devs opinion about it... Very interesting thread, BTWApr 28, 2015
