    At first I had doubt if I would use this addon frequently enough, but gave it a go. After two days it turned out that this is the addon I would use to model nearly every hardsurface object that use bevels. It might be a bit confusing at first what every function is good for and what you have to select in order to use a particular function. Also if you use another addon or the bevel modifier you will get triangles easily. Therefore it might be eassier to use Ctrl-B. Very usefull addon, that gives you the experience you can controll bevels. Not only that, you could unbevel (unfuse) and unchamfer and re-arrange the bevels. Unf*ck tool comes in very handy.
    Things that could be improved in next version:
    - Would be nice if the fuse function remember last settings. This, when I want to give the four corner-edges of a cube the same bevel.
    - Not having to go to the Tool-panel or pressing F6 after pressing Y and clicking one of the available functions like Unfuse.
    - The possibility to select all triangle corners at once and adjust them in one go.
    - A simple cheatcheet for those who start with the addon. It might not be very intuitive for them what each function is and what they have to select. It's in the manual though, but probably for some a cheatcheet is enough or eassier.

      1. Fuse already does remember the settings and always did.
      2. Modal operators are being worked on
      3. Multi Island selection are also coming, but in the case of resolving the triangle corners is tricky, because each corner can be resolved in 3 ways. So, should it just be randomized? No, it take you the designer to tell how the chamfer should flow.
      4. There's built in tutorial scene, directly accessible from the Menu. There's also a direct link to offline docs, in the menu (which you didn't read, at first).
      I've also very quickly responded to your message and forum post and even replied with a demo vid.

      I'm a bit disappointed by the 4 stars to be honest.
