Maybe we are getting better at programming but we still suck at delivering computing artifacts to end users. Who here has tried to ship a Ruby or Python application to desktop or even server users? Was the experience "modern"? We might as well be shipping punch cards.

Steam’s ok, itch.io is great. Do you vendor in your appp’s prerequisites?

You have to vendor. There is no other way. Or you pay the cost of vendoring at deploy time by having to pull in all the third party dependencies anyway. Whenever I rely on the end user or the platform to fill in the blanks I always regret it.
