The ninja profiles simply wait for trick attack to use Sidewinder since those CDs line up. I'd recommend learning the job and the fights and watch what the skillmanger or ACR does. It's not always optimal and really can't be. Like if you're ninja dies and you're using the brd-nin profile, you need to manually use Sidewinder or decide to wait on it, etc...
It's just the customization you can do with skillmanager; there is tons more of it. You can do things to change entire rotation based on phase or HP of a boss, etc. The openers are infinitely tweakable because there is a different best opener option for every instance. The great thing besides all the customization is that if you decide a better skill needs to be used at a given moment, it's easier to manually inject said skill as an override by pressing the button.
In a perfect world where ACR could be tweaked the same amount of ways that skillmanager could, players could do the same thing I've done here and ACR would be way better. ACR just handles GCD and oGCD better. But then if skillmanager ever got some of the tweaks I've suggested it would really kick ass. I just don't think it will because it represents a conflict of interest now that there are paid profiles.
tldr; The players that are experts at their jobs need to be the ones that tweak profiles in order for them to be their best. On that front I've made a lot more tweaks specific to Ultimate Coil that automate a lot of the rotation changes needed in there. We got bored and decided to re-clear that with a few different players and jobs. I actually got a 100% parse on fflogs Ultimate Coil when it was newer content. Best I've done with the profile, but then there aren't too many players in the world that have cleared Ultimate Coil.
