I think that the point was that the app store automatically INSTALLED the update, thereby overwriting the version being updated, not that the app store automatically UPDATED the application without input from the end user. I absolutely prefer to download an updated version of any application and install it "alongside" the older version. That allows me to test the new version to ensure it works properly before I consider deleting the older one. That approach has saved me considerable grief and a lot of time on a number of occasions.
