It may not be universally applicable, and it may not be helpful to you in your work, but there is a spectrum of writing output requirements, and the tool (if well done) could be helpul in many situations.

1) Editing fiction by Terry Pratchett -- not too useful. 2) Editing a newspaper article -- maybe it would catch a few typo-level issues that crept in under deadline pressure, but a professional writer wouldn't lean on it. 3) A non-native speaker of English running meeting minutes through it before blasting out the e-mail -- that has a lot of utility. (Actually, the "I went to engineering school because I dislike writing." native speaker of English would benefit from linting that e-mail, too.)
