    Not very Mac-like, is it?

    I know Mac OS since system 4.3, and until those badly ported DOS/Win Apps appeared, an Application was one file that could easily be moved around (your floppy disk ;>) and would still function perfectly.

    Up until X that became more and more of no-no. You installed and app and better not moved any part of it afterwords.

    Finally, Mac OS X reintroduced the nice one-app-is-one-file feature in the NeXTish way which I really like. But for Woz' sake, why on earth do the apps have to be in the Applications folder to be found? Apple even ships a locate db with the system, so don't tell me they wouldn't have an idea how to find their stuff after I moved it...
