If the idea of messing with your 3DS frightened you, you would still be running stock firmware.
Changing
what custom firmware your system uses risks nothing. It's as simple as changing a few files and directories. Hell, you can do it while the system is running, and then reboot when you're done!
While menuhax + RedNAND is inferior to running arm9loaderhax + SysNAND in every way, I understand why people do it. There is an actual, tangible risk involved with
deliberately corrupting a FIRM partition. While nowadays, the risk is similar to a grown man picking a fistfight to the death with an eight year old child, the possibility of the child winning, while minimal, is still nonzero. Random power outages happen - batteries get knocked loose for the shortest time, and SD Cards too. Hell, even Gateway. Thanks to Gateshark, I can... understand why you would stick with it, brick traps, stolen code and all. Even if you should be helping reverse-engineer it and make an open source version
Remaining on RXTools rather than switching to Salt, Luma, Corbenik, or anything else that works properly with the latest official code? That's pure tribalism. RXTools offers
nothing.
Nothing. RXMode is outdated compared to the aforementioned firmwares, and the actual 'Tools are outdated compared to Decrypt9WIP. Even FBI has better NAND dumping than the 'Tools. Unfortunately, humans are tribal creatures by nature, and some people won't see reason until they're made to. Such as by Welcome amiibo or Sun and Moon refusing to work under the old kernel.
Hmmmm~ That feel when I was right

You don't exactly need to nick the knickers of an appreciative, humanophilic female Gardevoir to see that one coming.
Not that you wouldn't do that anyway.
