Developing a Raspberry PI app with Visual Studio

Why is everything an App these days?

I know an App as a small, simplified, specialized application, usually on a mobile device, that serves a single purpose.

The Raspberry PI is basically a full computer so you can build and run everything and whatnot on it.

App is shorthand for application.

Does that make /bin/ln an App?

When you hear someone talking about apps/an app do you think of Apache, JBoss, KDevelop, Chromium, ... or rather Angry Birds and WhatsApp?

"App" has been short for "application" since the DOS days (hence expressions like "killer app").
