I hate to say it but all the automated jailbreak software is both good and bad.
Good for the fact it drastically lowers the competency level required to jailbreak a touch but bad for the very same reason because if something goes wrong then people have no clue how to fix it since they never stepped through the manual procedure.

i agree, i think someone should do it manually so they know where things are going and what they are doing and also learn something about the file system.
I think people dont realize that these are somewhat thrown together apps (which is no knock on the creators). They arent going to try there hardest to reduce and work around the user errors...
Actually, I disagree. The problem is in the competency level itself, not the method of jailbreak. Those with such low competency should not be attempting a jailbreak, 1-click or not. If they really have no clue how to fix the device after jailbreak, I don't think it matters which method they chose; it means they either specifically made a mistake of their own doing, or they dove into a task knowing they were not skilled enough to handle any exceptions. It's no fault but their own.
noob here...and gotta say, i'm pretty proud of my ipt hack and it was sooo worth it...

I'd love to jailbreak mine but I'm too stupid at that sort of thing without someone holding my hand step by step
Done. Go to YouTube and search for videos by "ipodtouchmaster". He will walk you through anything you want to do with your touch.
While I agree that there's no fault but the owner's for diving into something they don't understand, I feel like the manual method gives the end user an idea of what the process actually is and will give you the information to fix problems rather than simply restore and try again. The GUI will appear friendly and enables access to newer users that won't be able to diagnose problems, while the command-line method will appear intimidating and bring a sense of reality of what you are actually doing and spare some newbies possible panic by steering them away. There's still those that lack common sense to do a little research, though...
