Yep.

But also: It might not be for a developer like you, but it is for a developer like me.

I enjoy writing software, but I don't particularly enjoy futzing with building things outside my day-to-day work, and on systems I don't write myself. If it was up to me everything would be one click.

Things like this are like accessibility: it benefits me even though I don't particularly need it.

It's the way things have been for god-knows-how-long, and it has worked really really well.

I am utterly amazed and perplexed that answering ONE configuration question (which is all that is needed here) is too much. How lazy have we become?

One question. That is too much for folks?!

And I have no objection to the autodownloading. Just ask me where to put it first!
