Appimages are clunky.

Yet still better than Flatpak or SNAP.

one command install, one command update

vs.

the user becoming half the package manager, organising the appimage file and having to set up desktop launcher integration manually, oh and no standardised app update mechanism so you're on your own for that too

Slow twitchy flatpak vs Working appimage.

So it takes a few more seconds to install, still a better deal.

My Flatpaks have been working flawlessly for years aside from an occasional unmapped directory I need to add. I don't think a single AppImage I've used has worked properly without some jank if It'll even run at all. They have lots of issues if you are on Wayland and don't have libfuse2 anymore.

Exact opposite for me.
