Unfortunately this is off topic for this list, otherwise I'd love to 
explain in detail *why* I hate installers.

Let's just say I perceive it as an unnecessary layer that takes 
control away from me by making installation more indirect.

While I *love* all the system and API improvements in Leopard, the UI 
seems to be moving in the wrong direction on several ends. I hope 
that's just something that will be cleaned up when the dust settles.
