* Q: Why not use Munki?
* A: No reason whatsoever. Munki is great and you should totally use it, if it works for you. I just prefer to read and write code than learn a new XML syntax. For me personally, it was difficult to "start small" with Munki - there's a lot you have to learn to get started. Also, there are plenty of apps out there that don't conform to the standard PKG/app bundle format (like the ArchiCAD example above) and your best bet at tackling those is just plain-old scripting. To paraphrase Einstein - an installation tool might take you from A to B, but scripting can take you anywhere. :-)
