an app marketplace is not simply about package managers. Its about an ecosystem that allows developers to develop high quality apps. Additionally its about payment systems, etc - but tgats not relevant fof this discussion.

I'm finding it hard to believe that you can woo quality desktop app developers using javascript.

Yeah, I totally agree about JS.

Otherwise, I'd call the Free Software Movement a pretty neat ecosystem :P I'm sure at least some people will agree :)
