I'm pretty against ~/Applications. Nothing installs there by default. Why would 
we make an installer that's targeted at getting new users up and running 
install in a place other than the normal /Applications? Sure ~/Applications is 
_better_ but it's not _normal_.

If they're advanced enough to want it in ~/Applications then they can move it.
