I must politely disagree.  This is something new in that it can be used by anyone and does not require a lot of technical skills.  Of course, some may not like that idea. It is also platform independent.

Probably the worst thing is that this feature is really really old; years
and years ago you could do this, the same, with other tools, like for
instance I remember we did that with Excalibur retrieval´s robot (paying,
ok, but very cheap in terms of what you could achieve)
