In all truth, no one is really trying to "sell" you or some other joe on subscribing to SENuke. Yeah, you can get 100 PR4+ backlinks for $40 and 10 for $15. There's no doubt that it will work, it's just that I can pay $127 one time and generate links of PR4+ in one click.
Sorry if entering some details like keyword, titles, tags, and clicking "Start" is too much work. You probably do that anyway when you're ordering your link packages. The biggest thing about "learning" the software is just don't overdo it (best practices) and most people have no idea where that threshold is.
One other thing is that SENuke leaves no footprints if you don't allow yourself to be stupid and create them. I don't know why but people like to blame software for their own stupid mistakes. That's about 98% of the posts against SENuke is what I keep summarizing, but keeps getting ignored. You could make all the macros you want, and still leave footprints all over the place if you allow yourself to be careless.
A second point about macros is that for people like me who are actually busy full-time with kids, etc. it's not time efficient to learn another technical detail. Then have to replicate it for each site whenever it changes. I just don't have the time or interest to do that because I feel there are far more important and exciting things that needs my attention.
So, until you macro geniuses out there come out with something that is even close to SENuke and document your solution kicking it's ass all over the place...then you really have nothing solid other than theory.
And no, 800 links in short time to your site doesn't get you banned. If you are worried about that, then just don't do it. It's not SENuke has a pimp grip on your neck forcing you to submit to 800 sites. You pick and choose - another fine example of misinformed comments and zero knowledge on best practices.
