It's the only software I use to install stuff.
Simple, easy & great 😀

I guess I am the only person that installs manually anymore only reason is because the autoinstallers change some of the files during install and I would rather do it manually.

Yes, I agree, one button upgrades everything for you whereas the process could be much longer without softaculous.
Although manually installing scripts is longer than softaculous, I don't think it's that bad though.

Yes, I do, and I love that there is software like that that takes the guesswork out of stuff like this.
Which is a completely ironic thing for me to say considering how technologically savvy I really am.. I can and have brought bricked phones back from [implied] death, and I don't mind getting my hands dirty with Android, iOS or even with pcs themselves, but if you put me on the backend of a server without software like that and it is a night and day difference.
You have no idea what types of crazy stuff was running through my mind when I was on free hosting with a lot of hesitation on going paid, because of what I thought you needed to do.
It is software like like Softaculous that actually makes me want to kick myself for not having had done it sooner.
I think that Softaculous it recent itself, because I remember that back in 2008 or 2009, when I was doing work on the site for my family's business, that it too, had a very similar setup to what Softaculous is today, except that it wasn't Softaculous.
It was a different panel set up, and I saw it wherever I saw that a host had Elefante-free Scripts..
I do update manually though as for some reason, whenever I updated through Softaculous, I would end up with problems over missing files and I noticed that they arent as quick to update their software to the most recent version either.
I've actually emailed my host about this very thing where MyBB was concerned.

normally i do it manually. you know what they say "if you want it done right, you do it yourself", being that i am a programmer I like to believe that statement is true. but there are times i get lazy and use a shortcut.
