The lengths people will go to in order to avoid learning such an incredibly rewarding technology like operating system packaging boggle the mind.

Hard to tell if this is sarcasm. However, I totally agree that learning about operating system packaging is a rewarding exercise.

Very frustrating at other times when all you want to do is build your app in a form that your users can easily install.

It was not sarcasm, but disgust.
