App Killer - still useful with Droid 2.2 OS update?

I've been hearing mixed reviews on whether or not App Killer is a help or hindrance with the 2.2 OS.  Does anyone have some information on it?

My personal opinion is not to use a task killer. Reason being it will kill your battery if automatically set to kill programs.

 

What happens is TK will shut down programs and many of those programs will reopen, then again TK will kill the programs and the programs will reopen. It is an endless loop that drains a battery. Froyo does very well  with memory management if left alone to do its job.

I have read over and over, do not used a task killer with Froyo, it can actually cause problems if you do.
