Nobody has a problem with such automation programs if they are written
with care and the author responds to bug-report.  The author of
Automatix is well-known for not caring and even insulting (polite!)
bug-reporters.  I never used EasyUbuntu (nor Automatix), but at least
the developers of it seem to be reasonably polite...

There are at least three of them, and at least one of them is maintained
by an Ubuntu Member...
