Do you prefer downloading apps from the Microsoft Store or the old-fashioned way?

The Microsoft Store is now well established on Windows 10, but do you prefer downloading your apps from there?

Built into Windows 10 is an app store called the "Microsoft Store" that houses all kinds of content, including games, movies, TV shows, books, devices, and indeed apps. Apps are easily the most prominent part of the Microsoft Store on Windows 10, and rightly so. Microsoft has been working hard on getting popular and important apps into its store, including desktop apps old and new.

It's been a few years since Windows 10 first launched now, so I'm curious as to whether anyone has shifted from going to the web to download their apps, to going to the Store and doing it instead. I have, because downloading apps from the Microsoft Store is just so much easier (AND safer) than grabbing an installer from the web. Not everyone seems to prefer the Microsoft Store, however.

It's worth noting that we're talking strictly apps, not games. Games are a different type of content aimed at a different user base, and right now most gamers prefer downloading their games from Steam. I personally prefer the Microsoft Store, but that's a poll for another time. Today, we're just focused on apps.
