> * No bullshit forced updates when the OS feels like it.

Eh... kinda, actually. I can recall many times wanting to try out an application only to discover that my LTS distro which was gasp 4 years old didn't have it in the repo, so I was forced to upgrade in order to get it without setting up a build environment and recompiling.

If AppImage were more widely embraced this sort of thing wouldn't need to happen.
