I don't use Automatix and I don't need it. Kubuntu has surprised me on two or three occasions when I did not have some library or plugin or other add-on required to view certain content. Adept popped up and told me what was missing and then asked if I wanted to install it. I didn't even have to go somewhere and ask someone what I needed to install to make Amarok play a certain file type. I didn't expect that, not even Linspire does that yet.
