I've not had a change to install this yet but I had a little question.

The thing I like about Form Hack is that I can apply logic to the resulting thread. I can use IF statements and perform logic on the inputs to generate the output of the thread and title. Is this easy to do with Easy Forms or is variable substitution as good as it gets for now? I'm not super clear from just reading the thread and looking at the pictures if it is possible or easy to apply some more advanced logic.

Where do you want the conditionals?

I'm thinking of adding hook locations for custom php code.

Is there a way to choose a location to redirect the browser after the form is submitted?
