I was on a tight deadline and this tool was just the thing I needed. It has saved me hours of work! Thank you.
I am sorry for the developers of this extension but I think people will expect something else.
When I accessed this extension and read the details about its capabilities I thought it's a totally new thing that will help me move my content along modules with ease. I thought I will see a map the the modules as it's presented by template creators in Template Layouts (with all modules displayed).
I think this kind of extension will change the perspective of Joomla in the future if it will be properly. And I'm pretty sure Joomla will decide to integrate it as Default in their core.
I give it a Average vote because I expect more.

Hi, URAGANU
Constructive criticism is always welcome. We are dedicated to create helpful tool for modules administration.
You see, you are right! Your idea is beautiful, and we thought just like you some time ago.
The problem with Template Layouts is a different controller, unique for each template. This leads to "misplace" of some positions, or placing one on top of another. We learn this issue from endless tests. What you suggested can be done ONLY on custom basis for each template separately. This is a status for now, but we will continue with our efforts to overcome this problem.
I just changed templates on several Joomla! sites and needed to change about 100 modules positions since the new templates used a different name for the position I needed to use. I started manually changing positions module by module and it took about 30 minutes to complete 20 modules. I downloaded J!Position2 with tree display and drag and drop capability and completed the remaining 80 modules in 15 minutes. This is a well conceived and thought out extension and I recommend it highly. It installed easily and the use was very intuitive.
