I disagree completely. That is literally *IMPOSSIBLE* for those with no command-line access, whereas dropping in a directory by FTP is insanely easy.
Literally zero setup. What's easier? Nothing.
Clicking "Extensions" from inside MediaWiki, being presented with a list, and clicking one to install and enable it. And having no idea how idea it actually works.
That's not easier, that's exactly what I'm talking about, therefore precisely as easy.
You said "dropping in a directory by FTP". He said "Clicking [something] from inside MediaWiki". I don't know about other people, but I see a huge difference between those. The latter is easier. The former doesn't even have a UI.
