Since appics is really neutral I guess it doesn't matter whether you use gram or kilo app that shows up on your blockchain feed. I totally agree with you. Only recently can say with certainty that its always a community who are passionate about something that truly matters. Appics has come a way and they have a very smart strategy. To stay neutral in the midst of all this isn't easy. In my opinion it's a community of a crypto currency that does the marketing on a blockchain. Other than when a company is behind something that you can't rely on, because it doesn't want to funnel dev funds. Maybe it never suited their vested interest? The is a very nice take on all of this and I believe that tablet and mobile dapps should be considered more important. I actually don't mind still using steem for appics.
