If we want more information and information seperated from the executable
then yes. However if we don't want it (and this is where the big diffrence
between DOS and Linux comes) seperated and want everything that has to do
with something else together on one place (for easy deletion etc.) then it
isn't.
There are, like all other things, something bad with this as well. IMHO
none of the ways are perfect. Something that would be inbetween (but I'm
not saying that that would be perfect) are the help files in Windows, but
you never find what you look for in. Well, not entirely true, I actually
found one thing a few months back so I've had use for them once.
