I don’t understand the point of any of them. They seem like attempts to 
retrofit something that looks like MSI (only slightly better designed) 
onto the Linux ecosystem. Why? Clearly it is to woo the proprietary 
software developers -- the ones who don’t want to release their source 
code to let the distro maintainers worry about packaging.

The downside is that each SnapImage/FlatApp/whatever has to carry around 
all its dependencies with it, instead of being able to share dependencies 
through the package system. The idea that developers, particularly 
proprietary developers, can do a better job of keeping these dependencies 
up to date than the distro maintainers (whose job it is to do just that), 
just seems laughable.
