Easy installation and handling is always very important.
Otherwise it can become boring very fast, even if one is a technical

Huge downloads are easy to handle these days.

When trying to update the new lazarus and fpc binaries with deb packages I got 
in trouble with dependancies. Then I abort it.

It is like Juha said: They move on if they can't easily install.
