Anyone tried GoboLinux? Thoughts?

Just came across GoboLinux. It ditches the standard Linux filesystem layout and puts each app in its own /Programs/AppName/Version/ folder. No more /bin, /usr, etc. They even use the filesystem itself as the package manager.

Anyone here actually used it? Does this layout make life easier or just add more complexity? Curious how it holds up.

I respect the uniqueness of the linux distribution rather than a fork or themed DE
what Gobo does is symbolic Links + Indexing
afaik gobolinux has custom kernel that handle system differently from the standard traditional file system hierarchy.


Q: Is it worth a try ?
A: absolutely yes
Q: should it be a primary choice
A: No, just make new small partition around (25GB) put gobo on it and config grub beside my main Arch linux to boot and have fun with it.
