I see your point, but you likely also need to be compiling multiple versions for different architectures and OSes. If you offer an exe someone will turn up asking for a msi, etc, etc.

In theory, you can get this automated, but then you're requiring a dev to learn and maintain these tools instead of working on their project.

I do edit and spell check my posts because I believe that when posting something (text, software, etc) it's proper to make it easy to consume, without forcing dozens/hundreds/thousands of people to fix your errors. I would expect these things, but I don't demand these things, and I think it's inexcusably entitled for anyone to do so.
