Well, I was really surprised that developers are considered a target
audience here. GNOME Software *might* be considered good enough for
normal users, but its far from usable for a developer; even a
developer who don't want to touch the terminal. Actually, it is
*terrible* for such a developer. Why?
From what I understand, Gnome Software is intended for front-end
applications only.
1. He search for "C++" and .... (I doubt that it tries to interpret it
as a regular expression or something. Probably it thinks that the user
is an idiot and removes "+" signs on behalf of him).
DevAssistant application available by default on Fedora Workstation is
designed for that purpose.
2. He has installed Eclipse + CDT and hopefully he can compile his C++
programs with GCC. Now, he learns about Clang and would like to try it.
Clang is a compiler that be installed as an add-ons for Eclipse. That is
very much an request of enhancement for IDEs installation in Gnome Software.
GNOME Software is not that useful for a developer. As Rechard himself
said, he'll need a package manager anyway. So, If Workstation product
really targets developers, specially the ones who don't want to use
terminal, it MUST include a graphical package manager.
There are developers unaware of the concept of package manager which
does not help. Gnome Software is actually useful once the add-ons
functionality is fully expanded on applications. Works need to be done
allowing a seamless integration.
