I avoid them like the plague. I don’t want to add another installation method (one of GNU/Linux’ advantages has always been the “exactly one way to install”, instead of dozens of different installers). I don’t want something that not only disobeys XDG (The only Poettering-thing I approve of…), but clutters my home with a visible folder, that happens to contain nothing I ever need to access.
Ah yes, the guy who funfamentally objects to the unix philosophy and is doing everything to make GNU/Linux the exact opposite of it… Yeah, no. Not interested.
