that definition is simply broken
if it ain't broken don't fix it

no idea why people these days always think everything needs massive 
change sand new releases each week to be fresh (and buggy all the time)

you need learn to accept that software reaches the point where iot is 
just *read yand finished* just because it does what it is supposed to do 
and needs ntohing fixed or changed all the time

who are you to define if an application is "loved"

there are likely users who love it longer than you appeared with the 
appdata idea at all and install, upgrade it with no need for any shiny 
interface
