it's not the dos days anymore when everyone was already forced to use the command line so the additional indignity of having to sift through a mountain of COMs and BATs and BINs and whatever other accessories that you must not touch or everything will break before you finally find the file that makes the program go could be tolerated, today the people want nice and tidy singular executables with fancy icons so they can easily be recognised for what they are, anything less will be harshly criticised as unprofessional
