Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

I want both. Flatpak has saved me some heartburn a couple of times, but the distro I'm using dramatically reduces the need for it. I like native applications running with the shared libraries present on my system. I use flatpak as an escape hatch for when that breaks, meaning I've used it twice.
