Yes, extensively Mac OS. Now you want to talk about a turd, that is it.

PackageMaker is abandonware and an absolute fiasco. I don't even know where to begin documenting how this "product" fails at its primary task so utterly. Have you ever tried building an installer with it? Even Apple products tried to avoid it; Final Cut Studio, for example.

When the Mac installer does anything, it's just as capable of littering your system with crap.

And the Mac uninstaller doesn't leave turds behind, because it doesn't exist. You just have unknown crap all over your system.

Then there was the total lack of any way to install a single printer driver from Apple's collection until (IIRC) SnowLeopard. You got to install half a gig of drivers for every Epson printer ever made, just to support your one printer.

It has been quite a while since I've had a Windows uninstaller break my system. Do a lot of them leave turds? Yep. But at least they remove the bulk of the payload.
