B. I have not found littlesnitch to be all that useful.
i. You don't need it. OS X already has a firewall.
AFAIK, the OS X firewall (and its shareware/freeware/commercial relatives) only deals with *incoming* traffic; outgoing traffic is free to contact the various "motherships", hence the need for something like LittleSnitch. It's utterly mind-boggling just how much outbound traffic there is...
ii. It's bad, as you have discovered. Buggy and cumbersome.
Some versions have been better than others... As long as LittleSnitch is behaving, I don't mind it in the least: most traffic turns out to be either always allow or always deny. LittleSnitch (again, when it's behaving) is no more intrusive, IMHO, than SpamSieve or Edora's Junk function. You have to give a little to get a little.
Having said all that, I am getting pretty torqued that I *still* haven't heard from the developer(s) on my little gripe with the 'Snitch, but that's a topic for another communique (as well as not being a product issue).
My $.02; YMMV.
