Did i say that you have to open your browser ? A repository, a webservice, a
sftp, ... the technical side is not that much the question. A Software Store
App is nice when you have a internet access up n' running. When you don't,
you're fucked !

That's exactly what makes me uninstall Ubuntu on my previous laptop.
Downloading a software from another computer and copy it from USB Pendrive
was close to impossible. That could be a real problem, moreover when your
system have no wifi support.
But yes, i'm actually a big fan of centralized things, but even more when
you can access the zipfile itself from different way (repository, wget, web
browsing, copy paste from a CD/pendrive, ...) :-)
