1. Searching Universes is a pain
I do not (completely) agree. Using the OB-based browser, things are way better. You can search by category (which was already possible without), by name or by status (installed, upgradable, selected).
5. Finding what depends upon what is a pain, you have to manually search
This is not true. Open the browser, select your package and read the description.
9. Universes is/was non-trivial to discard from the image if you want to use it to build and discard it later.
I never read anything about that before. What is the problem exactly? I agree with the other critics and would prefer to use Sake/Packages. However, I have several problems with Sake/Packages as well: 1. There is no state as far as I know. Which means that if both packages B and C depend on A, installing B then installing C will install A twice. 2. There is no graphical user interface to install packages. This is not a problem for me because I script everything but it can be problematic for newcomers. As soon as 1 is fixed, I could implement 2 using OB.
