I've never even contemplated the idea of installing 3rd party apps for the 4 current development builds (2.x trunk, 2.x maintenance, 3.x trunk, 3.x maintenance) on my home development machine. And of course work suffers from the problem of not being allowed to install arbitrary apps I downloaded from the internet without getting the licensing vetted for commercial acceptability.
