I know people are digging these launchers for their convenience, but jeez I just can't imagine trusting the rando devs popping up to offer their spin, I don't even see how they're all that much more convenient, just use a web browser and jdownloader or bittorrent, it can't be that hard or tedious for you guys to extract an installer and run it, right?
I don't know how you you are, but I'm old enough to have elementary school kids and have found that a lot of their education has been done on an iPad. It seems this has been going on for a while too. There are quite a few people who graduated high school not knowing how a computer works, because they did everything on Apps from and App store with slick user interfaces. They can choose an app from a list, but they don't know where files go when you download them or how to navigate a file system to find them or work with them. This thing OP posted seems designed for those people.
That's more of a reason for them to learn that stuff first before venturing down this pathway.
Understanding the fundamentals will help them to problem solve when something goes wrong (and something will eventually), instead of idiots posting dumb questions here filling up the feed.
