Growl should probably be considered as a solution to an existing problem rather than a solution of its own.
For example, if you're getting notifications from various disparate apps or you'd like to collate and forward notifications to a single point then it's for you; otherwise probably not. Really, the flow would go: Download some productivity app See that app has Growl* support Download Growl Enjoy To remove, delete it from the Mac App Store on your computer. IMO it's incorrectly listed in the MAS in Productivity; it should be under Utilities. Rob *many apps claim to support Growl but sadly no longer do under 1.3.
