Installers are a bad heritage from earlier systems which didn't have
disk images, bundles and caching launch services!
Preferably you should ship your application on a disk image and allow
the user to drag the application to where ever he wants it (including
the trashcan if he no longer wishes to use it).
On the subject of disk images, I see close to all of them ship with the
sidebar disabled, and although this is probably more pretty, it's much
less useful, because the sidebar contains (amongst others) my
Applications folder. So either I need to enable the sidebar, or I need
to open another Finder window showing the contents of my Applications
folder, before I can actually drag the application to my Applications
folder.
Is there any other reason than the purely cosmetic one to not ship disk
images with the sidebar enabled?
