I think that the MSI folks also need to come to grips with another hard realization... today's installation developers are not all developers. I for one come from a scripting background, and found my niche developing installers because these days a lot of focus is spent on solid distribution methods and installations development has by and large been my full-time job for a year and a half now.

What this means that I can script just fine, and I can put together MSIs and InstallScript installers, but I don't know C++. People who do know it don't want to be writing installers. So for me, being able to write a CA in C# is by far a better option than learning a very complicated language that I won't actually use that much.
