Because before this thread was started..
1. i know how easy Gateway is to install-and-use
2. i seen it in action and loved its features
3. i was going to buy a nintendo 3ds this month so i hoped this was false rumour..
and my conclusion is.. using gateway's launcher + install files is safe
Even if it is a true rumour, it's your risk. As it is mine, since I'm almost at the same situation as you are. But I know the risks. and I'm willing to take them. I just don't understand this big drama people are making about this supporters, or non supporters. There's no honour in the scene, there never was, idk why people are so surprised with this, even if it's true. as long as it works on their product, and it's safe, for people who buy it, let them do whatever they want.
