I personally found it more intuitive than the windows method. You don't know how many people you hear about screwing up windows some way because they just thought deleting the folder in program files would be enough.

The mac paradigm is a bit leaky although, with .pkg files and what not. The .dmg distribution method is a bit annoying, but it allows developers to add fancy graphics when people install their programs.
