It seems to me that one of the most significant results of this common installation tool

all of the "tribes" within the CA family now have ONE install methodology - one
that is common across all products.

This notion is hard, indeed all but impossible to disagree with in general. That said, we have SMP/E in hand; and we are all familiar with it, warts and all. Do we need another quite ordinary installation/maintenance tool? I think not.
This is my thinking exactly. We have SMP/e, why do I need a product
that basically does that under the covers.
I should feel different about it if it were radically innovative; it is not.
