Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Prefpane style app
AppTrap installs a daemon that runs in the background monitoring the trash, when you drag an app to the trash it will search for associated .plist files that have been left behind and ask to move them to the trash. In other words, AppTrap launches and does the work for you automatically. All you have to do is uninstall apps the old fashioned mac way by dragging apps to the trash.

Even if you have tasks in queue, once you connect, it will begin automatically backing up for you.
Pro Flawless Execution
Backing up and restoring your computer are fast and easy. There's no confusion.

The interface is extremely streamlined. It walks you through the entire process. There are advanced options but they remain hidden until you want them.
Cons
Con Not Supported in Big Sur
Con Gets some things, not everything
This is thorough enough in cleaning up most of the cruft that gets left behind by applications, but might not get everything for the more invasive applications, especially if some of the files have privileged permissions.
Con Requires using Finder
Does not work if you trash app using alternate file browser like Path Finder.
Con No Organizing Tasks
Once your tasks are in the queue, you can't reorder them. You also can't organize them into folders.
