Your blogpost seems to be about two semi-seperate things: The GUI and options of the application and the additional software.
The first part focusses on developers, which aren't always the best GUI designers, and options that only a few people can use. And most users are just that, users. For the most part they aren't programmers. This will be an never-ending 'battle' I guess.
The next part switches gears to talk about optional software. I cursed as MIRO for doing that, ecpecially because they DO have turned it on by default. Poof, there I got a semi-crappy browser toolbar pushed down my throught. I am to blame for not paying attention during install.
If you want to add that in the installer, I feel that you only get some cash if people actually install something, or you get payed more when you put it ON by default, otherwise, why would some other apps have it on by default.
Why I don't have anything against being added to the installer I hardly see who would actually install any additional software offered by the installer. I think people who do probably think it is needed by the application or weren't paying attention while installing.
And while I hope you will get something out of it, I hope it's worth it to continue Sigil as it's a very useful application and one of the very few in this particular sector.
But that is a seperate issue than the talk about the LIGIS application I think, worth a thread on it's own.
