1) You cant use a multicore CPU fix with that file and most people out there NEED it.
yes, the launcher has a multicore fix built in.

2) Updating spellfiles is less than one tenth of the things you can do with my installer. (fix visors, fix underwater sounds, customize spellgems, gives a whole new UI plus a Velious UI not available anywhere else, fix in game maps, allows you to change resolution and windowed mode easily, allows you to change login screen, shrink the install by removing unnecessary files, change battle music to classic, fix multi core CPU issues)
i agree, for first install your installer is awesome, but for keeping spell files up do date, the launcher is much more viable, it also has a nice option of watching server status for multiple servers with voice notification on server status changes

) My installer is way easier to set up since it requires no input from user. Just pick the directory, impossible to mess up.
unzip the launcher, start it (it will ask for your EQ directory) select the server (or go into options and select to enable the multicore fix etc.) and press play

6) Some people play on PCs that get wiped after logout (some work environments and public PCs at cafe's etc).. they carry my installer on a USB stick and are able to get going within seconds, not possible with the auto patcher, since it would have to be set up manually every time.
also not true, you can also have the launcher on a stick, just select the directory of EQ and it will patch that one ... the patcher checks each time you click "play" if the files in that directory are the newest versions, if not it will automaticly patch / delete the required files
