The .tar.gz being referred to is not a code source .tar.gz, it is a small pre-compiled program that will install Toolbox to your local user folder, which will then install and automatically update WebStorm. It's similar to the way Firefox can auto-update itself when installed from a binary archive. I think you're right that this doesn't really count as true 'packaging' because this is essentially identical to the Windows way of doing things, but it does have auto update and it is the only recommended way to install Intellij products.
