What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?

Flathub aims to be the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.

How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

Where's that Chris Pratt meme? --

I don't know what that is and at this point I'm afraid to ask
- Flatpak is a project trying to fix many things at once
  
  make apps that work on every distro
  
  thus have apps officially supported by the devs, unlike distro packages mostly
  
  sandbox apps with an android-like permission system with a rating system
  
  use modern standards like delta-downloads, deduplication and BTRFS compression to save storage space
  
  make everything nice and user friendly
