They are locking everything down into "App"-stores. They are ALL in this thing just pretending not to be in same "team". Nice locked Orwellian digital prison.

It looks as though the article may have been a bit misleading:

Keep in mind that Click packages are intended for use only by independent apps, not distro apps.

Independent apps are more likely to either not have many external dependencies, or want to control what versions of those external dependencies it uses.

For everything else, we will still have Debian packages with all their dependency resolution glory.

The company is also rolling out further sandboxing to contain naughty third-party apps and rogue code and to streamline the process for getting packages approved for download from the Ubuntu Software Center.

For better or worse, though, it sounds like you'll have to use the Ubuntu SDK instead of cross-platform widget toolkits such as GTK or QT - hard luck for those of you who love your GIMP.
