IMHO the big plus of abrt is it triggers even when the user is not
giving his full attention to the app and not checking what it does
exactly when it crashes (typical example is multitasking and doing stuff
in 3-4 apps when one dies). There is a huge class of crashes that were
not reported before because the user had no idea what the app was doing
exactly when it crashed and could not reproduce it with debuginfo later.
