I use it on gentoo linux unstable branch to convert and simplify gps data from 
nmea to gpx. In the latest releases you can specify the maximum error 
admitted in gps points reduction, i think this is much better than 
specifiying the max number of points. The resulting gpx is good in creating 
ways automagically.
In the past i used no frontend, and recently i added some code to my editor to 
use it while importing gpx files.
