The installer makes unexpected change that you wouldn't know how to revert (and that you would need to) unless you read at the code.

It feels like we have gone back to the Windows 95's regedit era.

I resent that these kinds of installer have become the norm.

That's the equivalent of "just run with sudo". People don't want to deal with different configurations, policies, etc. So to provide a "one-click" Installation, they'll just change the whole environment to whatever they think they need. Good luck installing multiple such programs.

It's like homebrew making /usr/local itself and everything in it all owned by whatever user installed homebrew for years until Apple finally just took over the directory.

"most macs are really single user anyway"

Really? That's the excuse? I'm supposed to feel good about software coming from this quality engineering?
