Worthwhile Installer apps not available via Cydia?

[m021478]

Does anyone know of any?

[smirkis]

cydia has hundreds of apps, installer has a tiny handful

i can't even think of 1 app that installer has the cydia doesn't. cydia, literally, took over

Is there really any good reason to even have the Installer on my phone, or can I just uninstall it? Have most (or any) of you uninstalled it?

i've poofed it pretty much since day one. every now and again, i'll check and see if there's anything happening on there, but generally it's the same couple apps that were on there last i checked. since i can't see it on my springboard, i'm not often moved to go through the motions of uninstalling. i'll probably just deselect it from pwnage next time i need to make a custom fw.

i didnt even have installer installed when I pwned 2.1... I just see no point. Kinda sad really, it is what started it all and I hate to lose faith but it really has been trumped by Cydia

installer has the rip dev apps, like kate, but thats about nothing compared to cydia. maybe installer can come back once its out of beta

Installer has a number of games (oddly enough, from the old BigBoss repository) that don't show up in Cydia. For instance, Mahjong 2, which is my favorite game (even paypalled the author a shareware fee a few months ago). I finally upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.1 this weekend, and I just can't get that app back. Unless there's a repo I need to add to Cydia? Basically most of the apps that are at iphone.sleepers.net/iphonerepo aren't on Cydia for some reason (and Cydia won't let me add that repo, since it's for installer).
