You call easy installation of applications insane. I call convoluted and technically difficult installation insane. I represent the vast majority of PC users, and I don't think you'll ever convince us that a 10 step CLI process to install an application is a good thing.

I said windows store is easy, app store is easy, repos are easy. I don't know how you got "10 step CLI process to install" from that and if you just make up random nonsense this "conversation" is worthless.

Most non-packaged apps are just `./configure && make install` sometimes `cmake . && make install` It's hardly one step much less 10. If you know so little about some random software you found that you can't compile it I'm not sure installing it is a good idea.
