I like package managers just fine. I don’t want to have to have a plurality of software management tools.

That’s what I’ve been doing. I haven’t run into a situation where I’ve needed to mess with Flatpak. 🤷 Curious to hear other folk’s experiences though.
Also for your consideration, Flatpak seems to be mainly used for desktop GUI apps. You’ll still need your regular package manager to install CLIs. So… if you wanna keep your software management tools to a minimum…
Simple to me means not having to install some random extra tool and just using
pacman
like normal. That’s why I grumble.
