+1 from someone who recently went through his first 
command-line-build-dependencies-from-source ordeal to get Frescobaldi running 
on a mac.  It was no picnic, with lots of gotchas.  I think most would not have 
the patience for it, since they are used to simple installations.  That's too 
bad because Frescobaldi is wonderful and really improves the experience of 
working with LilyPond.

Also, would it be worth adding line numbers to the default binary LilyPad apps? 
 That by itself would go a long way by making it easy to find errors.
