I like the idea of them because I don’t like dealing with dependencies changing and breaking stuff and I don’t really care too much about disk space in the context of non-game desktop apps, as I don’t tend to install lots of them.
That being said I absolutely hate that permissions are all over the place and flatpak doesn’t ship a GUI to manage them by default, nor do you get any indication as to what permissions a program has until you try some functionality (like filesystem or camera access) only to find out it doesn’t work out of the box.
