"First you download a dmg file which, when clicked, creates a virtual drive. On the virtual drive is the program, which you then have to drag into your Applications folder. Then you have to unmount the virtual drive and delete the dmg file from your desktop"

You are kidding right? My wife guessed this. My 9 year old can do this. It's brain dead simple, and makes perfect sense - you can see what stuff is there before you install. You can read a readme sometimes before installing.
I think it helps when trying something new, to have an open mind. Instead of just saying "eugh! this is different. It must be bad"
I have no idea how you delete applications on a Mac either. You have to go to Applications and delete that folder you copied to your Applications directory?
It is much better having an 'uninstaller' that does a half-assed job at removing things from the registry and cleaning up files.
Matt I realize trolling can feel good on the short term but people will give you more respect in the long run if you are sincere.
Having used dos/windows for 17years, linux for 11 years, and mac for only the last 2, I wouldn't call myself a fanboy.
I use what works best for me.
Personally, I think dragging an application into your 'Applications folder' is pretty damn intuitive. I'm not sure quite how much simpler you could get. ok, it takes a couple of minutes to understand that it's mounted a disk image and you should unmount it, but after that you think "Yeah that's actually a nice way to do it".
