It simplifies the process and is a bit more intuitive.

If you have multiple iSeries, it also has a feature that will compare PTFs between multiple machines. This saves a lot of time.

WRKPTFGRP to view group PTFs as well (F11 to view text).
GO PTF will display the PTF menu.
Always read the cover letter as some PTFs require an IPL and in any event always perform a Full Save beforehand or at the least a SAVSYS.
