Hi,
I honestly think it creates more mess. stali does it the other way around
by putting all executables in /bin.
And the implementation isn't pretty; look at their .bashrc, symlink hell or
their commitment to uppercase letters. They claim it simplifies the removal
but a simple "make uninstall" can do that too.
If someone needs a directory for locally installed software, there are
already /opt, /usr/local, /usr/pkg or even /home.
cd'ing to, say, /Programs/Bash/4.4/Settings to adjust something to is
probably annoying. I suppose Windows does something similar.
