See, the problem is there are also people who used Automatix and had no subsequent problems - like me.
What can I say?
I used it in my early Ubuntu days, it did what it was supposed to do, and I never had trouble with my updates (although I tend to keep my updating-for-the-sake-of-updating to a bare minimum anyway).
If the guy who is working on Ultamatix is actually improving things, then great. If he's not, I don't see the point of his project.
Automatix was useful for newbies who couldn't work out how else to get what they needed, but most distros/package managers have moved on a lot since those days and it's much easier to get the necessary codecs etc.
I'm happy to wait and see how he gets on before I pass final judgement.
