different operating systems, different philosophies. unix has no
associations and it works too...
most windows installers that change file associations ask
beforehand. i open my c files always with the same editor and
dont like if a "creator" program would be started instead. but as
always: just a matter of personal preferences.
a dialog box asking wether change associations or not is 5 minutes work.
