Anyone still using smart ?

[Jani Partanen]

Well I have to say that I would love to use smart still because it does 
have something what other PM's don't have. Very awesome GUI. With smart 
and it's GUI it was very easy for me to handle lot of 3rd party repos, 
it was so easy to manage priorities with that GUI.
