I get the impression it's more that developers think Setup is easy,
that it's a point-and-click job that takes 5 minutes. Having had a
colleague recommend InstallShield over WiX (and end up using Visual
Studio after realising only a single developer could use IS) due to it
having too steep a learning curve people seem far too unwilling to
believe that MSI is a technology you should learn - as long as the MSI
package installs on the developer's machine the job's done.
