Grab a cup of coffee when uninstalling

I really don’t like uninstallers that take more than they should, which is probably about 30 seconds or less. I know that when I see the screen below when uninstalling a game or large application that I should do something while my computer takes like 2-3 minutes just to “gather required information”.
I have no idea what real information is required… you have the install directory, files, folders, registry keys, start menu folder, etc, so why not just delete them all quickly instead of using an uninstaller that takes forever. I’m glad that not all games and applications use this type of uninstaller and I am glad to experience a fast and easy uninstallation of those games/applications.
