In my opinion, shrouding is only useful if you are keeping your code closed source. (Since translated code only builds and runs on a single platform, shrouding is a better method for keeping your source code hidden.)
When you distribute your code, wouldn't you normally provide an installer as well? Thus, you are limiting yourself there too. I would think if your app is designed to be cross-platform, then you will have multiple methods of delivery already, for instance included with Eu for Windows, Linux or whatever, then an installer on top of that for that platform?
Further, the translated code is a substantial increase in performance over shrouded or bound code. Wouldn't you want that for your final production app?
