To be fair, I don't think I have ever seen an egg-as-distribution-method myself. I see them dumped in the site-packages directory, but I've never cared what they are. I've seen a (single) wheel file in the wild, but that required pip and was for an edge case (VS2010-compiled 64-bit NumPy).

Eggs (and wheels) are more important for Windows users, because they often don't have a C compiler.

Easy_install supports eggs but not wheels. Pip supports wheels but not eggs. It's rather sad.
