[Poll] Which AUR Helper do you use and why?

Which AUR Helper do you use and why?

I personally use pacaur (which uses cower as the backend).

One of the reasons why I prefer it is because I like that I can review and edit all PKGBUILDS at the start of the upgrade/install process instead of during like yaourt does.

    I'm using yaourt, but only because I'm used to it - it was the first I used when I switched to Arch. I've heard good things about pacaur though, and been thinking of trying it out.

      Ya, most people start out with yaourt. It is a decent AUR helper and definitely does the job.
      I still have it installed as a backup helper in case I ever need it.
