If fink is not for you, that's all well and good. Please e-mail fink customer service and ask for a refund of every penny you paid for it.
Ponder #1. I wonder how many people with limited to some *nix experience have installed scores of open source programs with fink? Ponder #2. I wonder out of the people found in #1 how many could have done it without fink? Ponder#3. If "And... there is especially no use for the average MAC -User and his/hers Terminal-Paranoia..." how many of them are going to be able "do it yourself [themselves] properly"? Just my thoughts, Phil P.S. If you can devise a foolproof system for those individuals culled out by ponder #3, I'm sure they're ready and waiting.
