Do DMGs cause more clutter for applications than Program Files does on Windows? If I want to find a specific program's exe then it's extremely time-consuming, versus opening either a DMG or the app folder and clicking the icon that's very prominent. No app has two app icons; some programs have multiple exes. I'd argue that the need for commercial protection on Windows is a bad thing in and of itself, but I'm a little tired of this argument. We've each made our respective points.
