Absolutely true Daddy. I remember not long ago, when I checked a little the Nokia Symbian "shop", then the Android Play shop, now this.. and came to the same conclusion: I don't give a FF for numerical "superiority" of this or the others app shop. Many apps resemble "wood furniture" (à la Apple), many games are worse than the MS-DOS games, many free apps are unfunctional until you pay for unlocking, then there are plain old frauds, etc.
And also yes, there is a fun aspect, I have had little time working, building this computer and gaming to 'waste' a day living 'inside' the Modern interface yet, like you did, but sounds as fun!
