Even if the updater is discontinued it works fine (and as you have stated before, the people do not read, they would not even see that it is outdated).
If they could not update their addons due to a lack of understanding, how did they install WoW?
11 million people are currently playing this game. Many of them know how to put a disk in a drive, and click next a few times. They don't know how to deal with C:\program files\world of warcraft\interface\addons, Zip files or anything of the sort. More knowledgeable people help them, install a few addons, maybe even WowMatrix or a similar program and show them how to click Update to keep things in order.

Insulting the end user is a common practice, but in the end it serves no purpose. There are people that were given instructions, and followed them, but don't know what exactly it was that they did. I guarantee you that every user in the forum, at one point in their computer-using lives, have done this.

Maybe some of the authors wrote the addons for themself and not for other endusers. Thought about that?
Then why are they burdening WOWI/Curse with their cast-off project that has no business being distributed?
