Different people, different tastes. One major thing people like with IDEA is that it is small and simple. You grab ZIP, unzip, hit the BAT file and there you go. Having installer with it sounds scary to me (where would things go? isn't removing the directory enough to remove old IDEA version?). We are developers, and the tool is not a M$ mammoth.
