Hi Yasir,
It would depend a lot on when you started generating your configuration this way. I spent a lot of effort at AS2764 and AS7575 getting RtConfig to do what I wanted but the only alternative was to roll your own code. Bgpq3 is much more recent and if you were starting out now it would probably be a better starting place.

Relatively not user friendly and not much help available over the Internet, yes but to translate the aut-num to configuration it would be worthy to use it but the question who and how many are still using. For the other tasks like to generate prefix list I believe the bgpq3 would be the more easy and widely use by network folks.
