Re: Snap, Flatpak and/or AppImages?

So it does seem then like appImages are the way to go. It sounds like we get the absolute best of every possible scenario in this seemingly antiquated but actually highly innovative portable app technology. Why oh why do we have people saying that flatpak is the future, or worse, snapd is the future, when we have appImages that are highly portable, and can even be sandboxed in much the same way, but are much more versatile owing to the portability? It's really nice to be able to put all the appImages I need on a USB drive and just use them on any Linux computer. I guess the one drawback I can see is the update problem, where most don't update themselves, but having repositories and appImage managers available would seem to resolve that issue, also in a highly portable way.
