For production use, I much prefer to have tg integrated in the Linux
distribution instead of having to download it separately. There is a
packaging effort going on to bring tg2 into Debian, and as a system
administrator, maintaining a tg2 installation with the distribution tools is
easier than having to deal with an application specific installer.
For development, the situation is different, since one probably wants to
develop against a newer tg version than what is available in a distribution
and so using a virtualenv is probably the sensible thing to do. So if
there's an installer that makes that easy, why not.
And for the legacy platforms where package management is unknown, and
installer obviously can only make things better.
[And just FYI: the current python-turbogears2 package in Debian unstable is
horribly broken, I honestly don't know what Daniel was thinking when he made
the package.]
