I honestly don't think this is a good thing.

At first, before I rooted, I wanted an app like this. I wanted "one touch" root access, etc.

However, since there wasn't much like it out at the time I have had to do it all myself...with some help from kind forum members, of course!

But now that I have and I know what I'm doing, I'm not afraid to play around and can fix issues when they arise. To be honest, there are opportunities for things to get screwed up when loading ROMS. And it's not you, sometimes it's the developer. But without screwing around, I'd have completely freaked out when my phone went into boot loop when loading a new ROM. Because I had learned to do things the right way, I had a nandroid backup and knew how to re-boot and restore from the nandroid backup.

Same with moving and pushing files, etc.

These types of tools have their use in making operations faster. But if you haven't rooted, I suggest NOT using them first. Just my $0.02
