Why do you find them annoying? I love them. Every application is just one file that I can freely move and copy around, can't be any simpler than that.

Take a dozen such applications, then have a security vulnerability show up in a core library. Still simple?

Yes, it just isn't "secure" as far as the security-for-the-security-gods types are concerned.

It depends on how often the stuff in the packages gets updated, not on the package format.
