It has been some time since SharePoint 2013 came out bringing us the new App Model. There is a nice number of Apps in the Office store already and it seems to me that this model is starting to catch up among us developers.
For me it is simply great, especially in the SharePoint Online. What are your experiances and how do you like the new App model?
I think its certainly a step in the right direction for SharePoint in Cloud. The only way you can scale quickly and cheaply is to have very few customizations. However, like Sandboxed solutions, the model offers a few challenges (no Farm solutions, no timer jobs, no object model access). You can do a hell of a lot on premise today and the new regime will take a bit of getting used to.Â
I personally SharePoint vNext will be the point that it really takes hold and becomes a way to build and integrate true business apps.
