Rom Manager and ClockWorkMod is getting a bad rap merely because it had a short stretch where ClockWork versions had bugs... but it's been fixed for quite some time now... I tend to think it's user error more now that it's been updated to stable versions again.... JMHO
That being said... For ROM changes it's just smarter to do it from recovery manually...but for kernel changes, patches, and even themes where you don't have to wipe, doing it from RomManager is not a problem whatsoever. I use it all the time, as do I boot into recovery manually all the time as well, ClockWork, and haven't had any issues at all, other than the 3 or so ClockWork versions that were a bit unstable for whatever reason.
I'm sure if you were to search, you'd find members who've had problems with SPRecovery as well..... user error problems that is...lol:icon_eek:
