I kind of agree with this, to a certain degree, but DMGs are really
the standard here. Users will have to learn about this concept
fairly quickly if they ever plan on downloading software.
Well, the same argument could have been made about the command line
a couple years ago. I personally prefer giving my users the best user
experience possible, and DMGs aren't it. I also saw it in support
calls that a ZIP archive generally is the better use. You don't have
to tell them to copy the application from the image before running
it. You only tell them "double click the archive and it will extract
the application out of it, then put the application wherever you
like." You can't have such an easy description for a disk image.
