A couple tips to address some of his issues:

Issue: .app directory is browsable, don't use Vista to decompress.

Solution: Package your app as an .ipa. It is now no longer a directory, and your use can drag and drop this into iTunes. iTunes will handle the decompression. I usually send the following link to the users to help them through the install: http://www.innerfence.com/howto/install-iphone-application-a...

Issue: user needs to delete old version in order install new version. Can't test upgrades.

Solution: Increment your Bundle Version for each version.

Yep. These are all things that simply take time to learn. It seems the author is just bit a inexperienced in these and mostly wanted to blow off steam. I was also annoyed by these things, but that's what drove me to figure out a better way and/or automate them. I added the same tips (and some more) as a comment to the blog.
