As opposed to what other option? Hunt around to edit their menus up?
I wouldn't expect most users to edit the menu at all. They'll just use
the default.
If they don't know what's on the machine, then how are they
supposed to
determine which application is best for them?
Again, I don't think most users are going to want to spend time
evaluating various applications.
Moreover, what if they already have a preferred application? But
it's
not the 'preferred one' by your standards. How are they supposed to find
it?
If they have a preferred application, they're more of a power user.
Probably something like the MacOS "Applications" folder would be a good
solution here, as Rex suggested.
