Temp root not a "real" root: wait for permaroot - HTC EVO 3D

Mad props to TeamWin and all the devs for the root work, but I feel like a thread like this should exist for those thinking of playing with the current temp root. Most of the information out there would lead you to believe that the temp root can be used by the general user to root the phone and then use rooted apps until you reboot... or at least for a while.
Truth is, the temp root should be viewed as a dev tool for other devs to use the tool to move forward into developing s-off and/or a permanent solution. After playing with this root a little, not only will it not stick until a reboot but most of the apps that require root won't even work with this root. Of the half dozen apps I tried, only one would work. The others all proclaimed that the phone didn't have SU access.
So if you're looking to just get on the bandwagon early, my suggestion to the general user is wait for the permaroot. The current temp root is not a working solution even when it is fully engaged. Some say they use it to gain access to Titanium Backup to uninstall bloatware. Guess what? As soon as you reboot, all that crap is just reinstalled. Yeah you can freeze it, but that's not a real solution. And yes, there are ways to "hack" wifi tethering so it works but only for a little while and then you have to not only reroot but rehack.
So I don't think this root was ever meant to allow general users to gain a "non-sticky" root. It was meant for devs to do their work. As a user tool, it simply doesn't work... at least very well.
There... it needed to be said. I think TeamWin pretty much said all this when it was released, but it has gotten lost in everyone diddling while waiting for permaroot.

I don't think this concept has been lost by anyone who knows what they are doing with their phones; unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there that just do stuff to their phones, without really having a clue as to what the ramifications are...these are the same people who flashed all sorts of stuff on their Evo4g phones, then came here freaking out that they "bricked" their phones, and were begging for help..
If you put stuff on your phone, without being CERTAIN as to what you are doing, then, "you reap what you sow"..

This is exactly why I havent bothered to mess with the temp root, no real point to it right now other than providing a way for people way smarter than me to do work towards a permaroot and s-off.
Just wish they would hurry up ;-)

I agree with what everyone said, I will just wait for officials root.
