One of the best things about the Mac platform is that developers
typically care enough about their users to invest the time in making
decisions on their behalf in order to improve the user experience.
Windows developers, and Linux developers in particular, seem petrified
of making decisions, instead opting to make everything configurable.
I call this "Gentoo syndrome" because Gentoo is the Linux distro I
think is most plagued by this problem.
In other words, don't be afraid to decide. As a sysadmin, by not
providing an Installer package, I can't incorporate your software into
a NetInstall image. This means I won't install your software. Now
that you have an Installer package, there's little reason to keep the
AppleScript version around. Don't be afraid to make that decision.
