Trust is Cydia is really obsolete now.(which means so would icy). Rock is the future, its fast(probably to par with icy if not better), and is very colorful, all apps have its own pics, reviews/comments on all things there. Same repo as cydia+rock only ones. Imports all cydia(maybe icy too) apps/addons(does not port your manual entered repos, so you have to redo those) Lets you back up all JB apps/addons to your rock account, so if you restore you just login and it will download everything you have. and alot more!

Cydia has got to be there because it's loaded with so many custom firmwares and jailbreaks, so it's still king of the mountain, but for a while ICY and Cydia would have a horrible row if you put them on the same iPhone. It seems that the problem has been cleared up, but I'd like to get some verification if anyone knows. thanks! Does anyone know if ICY still has compatibility problems with Cydia?

It is just the software making sure you aren't mistakenly removing your package manager.
