Advanced Task Killer...yay or nay?

[muyoso]

Can you set ATK to replace the stock task killer, so that when you hold the home button and then hit "task manager" or whatever button it is in the box that pops up, ATK would open?

"But starting in Android 2.0, memory management got much, much better. Apps couldn't spawn processes only to leave them forever. The OS would gauge the level of system RAM, and close unneeded background services. Users on phones like the Droid could clearly tell that this was happening. With only 256MB of RAM, some memory-heavy apps would reliably cause the OS to close other apps running in the background. This is why many apps now use persistent notifications. Having that notification running will keep a background process it is connected to from being ended"

part im after, i see froyo part too.
