Yes, I use the app store version now. But I've been using it well before the app store was a thing. The "take over your icons" is a tad hyperbolic, and is no concern. MacOS will change icons to what ever app you default to open certain file types. If i choose to open text documents to open by defualt in BBedit instead of text edit, all txt files will change to BB edits document icon. I made all zip files and rar files open by default to the unarchiver, so those files now use that apps file icons which looks similar to the apps icon. Minor issue and should not be even considered in my book, unless your an icon snob. LOL
