[wp-hackers] AutoTheme for WordPress Introduction

[steve caturan]

i'm curious what advantage would Autotheme present over using ? is it an 
offline html editor that needs to be installed locally, or a remote 
server? a WordPress plugin? a PHP-based app that operates outside of 
WordPress?

how would I explain to my users that Autotheme is something better than 
doing it themselves through 
http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Themes_for_Public_Release? is it free?
