Probably not malicious, which is even more worrying

Yeah... I was hoping to love Minion, but I won't risk it on my systems. Installing to user appdata because the OS' protection against modifying applications is "pesky" could be a plan to do something malicious, which would be annoying, but is probably really Mac or Linux programmers who don't know how to set up app permissions, which is much, much worrying. So I won't forego system protection to install an app that will make other basic mistakes a Windows programmer would know to avoid.

Tries to work around UAC by installing to a data directory, makes snarky comments about OS protection services getting in their way, and no source available... not a combination I can trust.
