I used to use supermount too.  Switching for me was pretty easy tho.  I
had some compatibility issues between versions of hal and ivman once but
nothing really major, just annoying as usual.

I guess I'm one of those, if it works, just use it.  Ivman works for me
but if something better comes along and is stable, then that would be
cool too.
