On: As a Windows user, it's a surreal way to install a program

You use regedit, and only registry keys/values are in there, not other kinds of files. And editing systemwide plists on Mac means authenticating each time you touch one unless you're using a sudo terminal or sudo Finder. It does meaningfully change the experience for whoever is digging into it.

Also, Mac plists have two formats, xml and the non-text kind. Now mentioning that, I kinda hate both formats.

What, you don't like <key>foo</key><string>bar</string> instead of foo=bar or <foo>bar</foo>

The dicts and arrays make it even more fun
