[ErrantX]

Disagreed; i think all it is is that FOSS developers like making cool stuff, and for them the setup is not a chore.

In a commercial app there is a requirement to make the installation routine simple because you have to sell the app. With a Linux (and sometimes just generally with FOSS) that drive isn't necessarily there.

It's a general FOSS problem; programs tend to lack that last little bit of polish that would "sell" them - but that is a ball ache to add in.
