I really don't understand why Leap uses such old libraries and applications. It is disappointing.
That's the nature of Leap. Big updates take place only on major versions (eg. 15 -> 16). Minor versions are just non-disruptive updates for its corresponding major version, so it should be completely safe (and encouraged) to upgrade your 15.x version always to the latest minor.
I think that statement needs a bit adjustment. Its the nature of *SLE* that base packages see only minor updates, but Leap was always fed from TW for applications (at least most of them) See: https://paste.opensuse.org/63245296
So it should be up to each maintainer to justify what application update is possible for Leap.
I agree, that there are some areas in 15.3 where we are not up to date. But given the difficulties we saw to align the build streams, my feeling is that these difficulties have favoured the slow down.
In other words, 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 are just "service packs" on top of Leap 15, not a completely new and bleeding edge distribution.
Right, Bleeding edge was never the target of Leap
Well, then Leap 15.3 "is a new distro", but with old libraries and applications! I am currently using Tumbleweed which I have to update every week. Until 2 months ago and for a year I had a 4G connection with which I had no flat rate and had to pay for data packages. I was looking for a modern distro that I don't have to be constantly updating to install on my friends' computers, but with the age of the Leap 15.3 applications, it seems it's not the one for them.
