It can undo entries, but cannot reverse some changes - and it is those changes which are most insidious with QT. As a trivial example, when QT's associations are removed, it does not know what associations were there before. Whether iTunes is better, I cannot say since I will not let it into my system. The only reliable removal tool is restoring a full backup at least of the OS and applications. (I keep data on separate partitions so such a restore is only moderately painful.)
