Not just laziness, but also convenience. The people who trying it first time, obviously having lack of knowledge, where all those plugins resided, in what repositories, and most important - do he needs them to build a test VM.
So, i think there are missing some kind of registry in VMMaker, which could tell a user , what plugins existing and where he can download them, what plugins is critical for running an image, and what is optional and can be ignored.
It would be cool to have a 1-click VM builder. So, anyone could download, install & build VM, without requiring user attention.
Look at the "update" category in VMMaker on SqueakSource, and VMMaker class>>updateFromServer.
A one-click install or update would be: MCMcmUpdater updateFromRepositories: #('http://squeaksource.com/VMMaker' )
I'm not sure if I have the MC configuration right yet (don't have time to check right now) but it's close.
