Re: Goodbye, Ubuntu Software Center

GNOME's software app is pretty dreadful too. It can become unresponsive, displaying a bunch of ellipses on icons, lock up if the package manager is busy doing something and generally give unhelpful error messages or no feedback at all.

It also assumes users are only interested installing end-user applications so it's not a package manager. Something like synaptic would be more useful for admins but I'm not really sure why a high level app store and a package manager can't coexist in the same software since they need access to the same functionality.
