Why updater clients need third party platform?

Curse is using net framework, mmoui is using java.

Java... I am never going to install that crap on my computer. Had lots of issues with it in the past, starting with viruses and ending with being unable to clean uninstall end user runtime from my computer...

I mean, why no one is able to do stand-alone client? Like all most popular programs are. They don't need any Java or other crap, you just click on installer, it installs in program files with settings stored in app data occasionally. That I call a srs bzns.

Well, but development already started, there's no way back I guess. But tell me that, why did you choose Java, the biggest uber crap on the internets?

And no, I'm not a programmer and cannot give you advices or start my own updater :P
