The pro arguments for using Installers even for just a simple one bundle application are:

How would you know which permissions the user wants? Some people install apps in their Home, others central in /Applications, yet others on some network share. All require different permissions.


- you can remotely distribute it with ARD.

ARD doesn't allow you to copy files/folders?

Don't forget:
- the package can contain pre and postflight scripts, [...]

Yes. And it wouldn't be the first flight script hosing parts of my system.


and can be installed from the command line.

cp -rp ...

or

  sudo cp -rp ... && chown -R ... && chmod -R ...

depending on how and where you want to install.


Careful people never run installers without getting a full disk snapshot before. So much more time consuming than doing a test run right off a mounted .dmg od CD.
