The pro arguments for using Installers even for just a simple one

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.

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

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

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.
