Or have you written a script to automatically swap when threshold is reached? That way it wouldn't
The way I set this up, you never have to bother to swap manually, all will be done at night when I am sleeping. Also you (Atleast I do) never reach the threshold in 1 day so your phone is responsive, even after longer uptime
Said short: Set it up once, never bother anymore, it just works. That's why I prefer ereswap over FlopSwap.. Besides I dont have 3 swap partitions. However the way FlopSwap goes, is cleaner than Ereswap's way...

if [ $ACT_DEAD -eq 0 ]; then drivelist=$(sfdisk -lndq /dev/mmcblk1) swapmicro=$(echo "$drivelist" -n | grep Id=82 | awk '/mmcblk1/ {print $1}') if [ "$swapmicro" ]; then /sbin/swapon $swapmicro else /sbin/swapon -a fi

I absolutely agree that having modified boot-critical scripts is only for people, that know how to keep track of things changed in their critical system scripts/files. While ereswap have means of reverting it's changes back, it does it only on user request, not even during uninstalling (it's not a bug, it's a feature
If I would have to recommend way of enabling SD-only swap with failback to eMMC for someone new to subject, I would definitely recommend FlopSwap. Thank you for your hard work, as I see it as great piece of nicely GUi'tised software.
ereswap is for people, that like to minimize amount of additional components/scripts, at the same time still having some way of automating required changes - as mr pingu said, it's "set up, fire and forget". It could be all manually changed by user, but it's easily doable on fresh device, or any situation, where user wants to avoid manual steps, at the same time, not requiring additional software/GUI/etc. It's not a mystery, that it was script meant for my private use, that got released, just because people were interested in it - thus cleaning it up and packaging. In those terms, FlopSwap is more deserving being called "real" program.
Where I don't agree, is treating CSSU as something "different" - it's just a separate repo with bunch of packages, bringing us many goodies (and written by very talented people), that would be hard to release without using separate repo. That's about being "system update" - frankly, it just got *accepted* as system update in common language.
For me, using swap on SD card *only* is as essential, as anything from CSSU or KP (alongside custom modifications to swap-related settings, that are *far* from what swappolube proposes), that's why I don't hesitate to modify system files or whatsnot.

Summing it up, I'm really glad, that we now have many choices for messing with swap, suitable for users on various level of advancement (there is also 3th package being practically and ideologically somewhere between FlopSwap and ereswap, for which I can't recall name, now). I'm also glad, that you've decided to write FlopSwap from "scratch", not basing it on ereswap, as you've ended up with more general-purpose tool.
Cheers,
