There is always a tradeoff between controll and accessability...

To tell the truth I would much rather see a unified installation system, but I
suppose that is not to be easily done when every dist has it's own (bizare) set
of rules for maintenance.

Yes, why not? It is after all the only truly general installation procedure to
date. Actually, KDE impressed me alot since the configuration/compile scripts
could easily have been hidden behind some fancy graphics stuff.
