Default LS1Edit Questions

I was considering the purchase of LS1edit and I have a few questions.

1) Has anyone here used it? Is it at all intuitive? I am a computer developer and consider myself highly technical, but I have never used a product like this.

2) I assume that this software only programs the PCM and I still need to use AutoTap and a dyno with wideband O2 to monitor the results of my changes.

3) If you install a mod like an aftermarket airbox are you supposed to use LS1Edit to reprogram closed loop operation to bring the LTFT values back down to 0, like you do with a MAFT?

4) On the other hand should you just forget about closed loop programming since the O2 sensors will always get 14.7:1 and just use LS1edit to program the WOT A/F ratio?

5) If you save your stock programming, reprogram with LS1Edit, and then restore your stock programming will a dealer be able to see with his Tech2 that you were messing with the PCM?

I have the same questions. According to the manufacturer (I sent an email) the dealer can't go into the computer and look, they can only re-flash it. That doesn't make sense though because LS1edit has the capability to download your rom.
