@mdhughes but you are presuming that other users have the same requirements as you.
To take but one example - almost none of the people I know who use linux use twitter on the desktop. Why would you do that? That's not what a desktop is for. The few that do use it through bitlbee.
A torrent downloader, likewise, is a tool. Mine doesn't even have a UI, it sits on a headless server.
I'm not even getting into your nonsensical comments about LibreOffice. Don't like it? Don't fecking use it.
