This stance actually annoys me. Should we ditch all but one and only web browser? desktop environment? file manager? database? terminal? language? There it starts and where it ends? And who decides what the true form is?

I do not like apt, dpkg, aptitude — interface is not good, output extremely verbose by default and it was slow. Its existence does not annoy me as I do not use it anymore. I use pacman, but this annoys you, what should I do? Abandon it and fill the web with grieve?

Maybe you have to work with different distributions, it should not be hard to create (or google) wrapper https://github.com/icy/pacapt

Separate communities is Linux power. We do not argue on a true form, we solve our needs.
