“impossible to do anything” is somewhat … vague Ponzio Pilato, can you explain? was your frontend broken? javascript issues? did you site look weird (css problems)? were you unable to login? did you clean your page cache after uninstalling? did you have a look at the (extensive) FAQ to troubleshoot?
i’m pretty sure whatever you were experiencing is fixeable, but would need more detailed info to be able to help.

Sorry man, i red only now your reply. i don’t remember exactly what the plugin destroyed, but i had to restore a backup after activate it. It corrupted my theme. Sorry, but i can’t risk to do it again for help your fixing.
I simply advise to users: TRY IT BEFORE USE IT. There are uncompatible themes.
I would like to add that this warning is uncalled for. I have personally tried this plugin on several sites and never experienced the problem the OP is scaring people of. In the case where the plugin could brake something ( for example if you combine it with a cache plugin, my personal experience is that wp-super-cache plugin tends to crash the whole site if you move installation and needs special attention to reconfigure ).
Also, if this plugin did make any problems, I do not understand how it can still create problems if you disable it or even better uninstall it as all changes are gone?
I believe your problems is some other plugin and not this one, correct me if I am wrong.
On your last note – WP is free software and so is this plugin. The problem with free stuff is that you never have anyone resposible for making things work – I think the author if this plugin is rather reasonable in answering all comments. If you want something you do not need to try I recommend purchasing a proprietary CMS – I can recommend my own system Easy CMS 🙂 But lately I have been having more fun with WP as everyone theese days want a piece of the free wave… All those tasty templates and plug and play!
In my experience I have rewritten alot of plugins to fit my needs, but I keep reminding myself when it comes to this plugin that the effect you get for just enabling it outweights by far the time needed to custom optimize a site looking at actual worth in real word!
I wish this plugin wasnt so damn effectful, but it is! And by the looks of it its suddenly gonna become even better as the author and people are being reminded of possible problems when combining the CSS for screen and print as example, and google page speed aswell. At the moment everyone should use this plugin as a default plugin in WP – unless you custom optimize everything that is!
If this plugin was a woman I would date her! Haha!
Sorry if it bothered you, it’a free feedback on a free plugin (maybe will be usefull for the developer). You use it on many websites? well, not on all. Mine wasn’t one of yours.
About the plugin, i couldn’t enter in wp. And i tryed to delete the plugin by ftp too. nothing changed. Maybe some conflict with other stuff… i don’t know. i know in future i will never install this plugin without try it before. it touches important stuff, then is dangerous install without test for my opinion.)
Maybe this woman fall in love with me, and she stabbed me in the back :-p
..Thanks god i had a backup.
Funny discussion 🙂
But let me quote myself here;
i’m pretty sure whatever you were experiencing is fixeable, but would need more detailed info to be able to help.
So if you’re ever up for a challenge ponzio-pilato (on a non-PROD server maybe), let me know :-p
I agree, Mr.Frank… thank you for the invite. When i will try again your plugin, i will be happy to report any possible problem. Actually i’m still bleeding for other women :-p
