I like it when the uninstall command is "rm -r". Sadly, I think the only unixy system where that's even remotely practical any more is Mac OS X. GNUstep too, of course, but I don't know if it will automatically search for packages you move.
As well as being removable, their foo.app directories can easily contain a lot of dependencies as well as the program itself, not relying on the system to provide all dependencies. I remember concluding that's how it should be done, but don't remember all my reasoning now.
