I see a couple of things that concern me right off the bat. Please don't let my opinion steer you away but heres my thoughts ....
1) The author doesn't provide you with the commands it runs. I have no idea if, when you download this and run it it may open a terminal and you can visually see the commands or not, but I want to physically verify the commands run on my phone first, not during.
2) This teaches people that root is simple as a click of the button. You gain absolutely no command line skills and if you think you can escape the android root underworld without knowing and loving Android Debugging Bridge you'll be sorely mistaken.
Realistically if the app did something malicious someone would have called the dev out by now. BUT without seeing the actual commands, i cannot tell you to use this or not use this. My commands are laid out and simple and you can see exactly what I'm telling you to do.
As the saying goes, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.
I will add my personal experience to this. When I had my EVO I had problems doing certain things that I really wanted to do. When it came right down to it the only way to troubleshoot it was to use ADB. I had no clue how to do that, and even though I had been rooted for months I couldn't troubleshoot it. So I was playing catch up to fix problems. Had I done the long method of rooting that involved ADB troubleshooting woulda been a lot easier for me and the people helping me.
