Abusing our (faint) trust in installers. Like M$ Office among other
things writing it's installer log file at the root of the file
system. Or Stuffit Expander installing it's freaking shared
framework. Be gone!
On the other hand, let's be grateful they use installer properly
(well, that is, *if* they do -- I fear at least Stuffit stil uses the
Vise cr** instead), so that all these things are properly recorded in
receipts. That's an extreme advantage of an installer, and solely for
it, I *as a user* would happily use packages for *any* install,
including the smallest and lest important tic-tac-toe test app :)
In my POV, it's *ways and ways* better than if the apps intalled the
stuff their goddamned programmers considered worth installing
themselves at the first launch (as I suspect you was advocating, or
did I read something too quickly? :))
