sadly the INVENTORS always make it look easy to use..after all, it was designed to help THEM with issues they are having..if you are not having those issues, then it might not work for you!
I think it looks terrible bulky and cumbersome myself...I like to lie my hand flat to control my cutting..this takes that control away.
Doubt it is for me!

this little gadget looks very interesting and might be helpful, but I think that a lot of slippage is due to the ruler sliding on the fabric, thus those little sandpaper strips hold it in place rather than the brute force of leaning on the ruler

I used to go to that show when I lived in Oregon. What a great show!

It has taken me years to get over the habit of buying every gadget that comes along. I have finally learned to wait a little while to see if the new gadgets have staying power. So, I'll wait about this, too. Keep us posted, please.
