lol, amusing take on the situation....


What i'm complaining about (and trying to understand why it could be considered better) are two things:
  • Lack of choice of destination folders when installing programs thru normal means.

    and

  • Dumping executables all in a single folder, config files all in another single folder etc, instead of developing the folder tree keeping things more organized.
