How do you feel about Flatpak? Do you like having universal packages separated from the operating system, or do you regret how much space they take? (piefed.zip)

I was reading a bit about it recently, seems like there two positions are valid, curious to see what people here think.

I really like Flatpaks, even if I was highly skeptical at first. I haven't had many issues, and I actually feel they have made installation and management easier. Yes, they take up more space, but that hasn't inconvenienced me at all. It's a really good system that solves some long running issues with Linux software distribution.

While I haven't used it, I like GNU Guix a lot conceptually also.
