Good that it uses two steps:
1) show you both current and new INI file contents (after parsing)
2) if you want you can save the new INI file, and the 'old' one will be backed up
Other plus
- two files: one for front-end, one for backend
Only two tiny negatives:
- As Elovaris said, JText::sprintf() is not included.
- It seems to me that the menu items that can be translated in a en-GB.com_component.menu.ini are put in the GB.com_component.ini (or: I don't know how it is supposed to work...)
If I ever want to write another component, then I'd code it all with JText-es and deal with the language file later.

A charming little component!
I wanted my 'special' users (author, editor, publisher) to be able to submit content through the frontend of Joomla, not the (to them maybe too confusing) backend. This makes it possible in a very easy manner.
Of course you need proper permissions to publish an article or to edit it.
Some people reported that "it does redirect to the home page without any message, but the articles do go through", but I do see an "article has been saved" message when redirected to the front-page. (different version?)
I did find that a "submit content" link did not work with PHP4 (result was a blank screen) and only changing the .htaccess file to using PHP5 (host gives me the choice what to use) made everything work again.
Small tip: make your submit content link accessible only to 'special' users, not 'registered' or 'public'.
