Linux had centralized package management for like a decade before the iPhone. The App Store was hardly novel, just gorgeous and very successful. But I still use apt-get daily…

You're comparing a command-line package manager for free software with a GUI/touchscreen store for paid software. They're only barely related.

Thats nice, but apt-get is still brittle, breaks often and doesn't support a payment system.
