How in the hell do you think that dragging files to an "Applications" folder is unix-y?
Ubuntu: Synaptic or "sudo apt-get install xyz" Fedora: "yum install xyz"
Certainly don't see any goofy dragging app files around here.

Using a package manager or manually grabbing the files and building it IS basically like dragging files to an Applications folder.
You have all your files for an app in one known spot. That's all there is (excluding environment variables). What is non-unixy is installing a bunch of garbage into a registry (did I mention I hate registries?).
These OS X / UNIX techniques compared to Windows' "download an EXECUTABLE that does all the installation for you" is like night and day.
