I use it to setup dev environments' windows. For example, a hotkey that launches the following configuration automatically in about 14 seconds (this is my primary coding setup).

1. 3 terminals and 1 Finder each in a quadrant on Space 1

2. Two Chrome windows, full-screened and placed into split-view next to each other (split view is when you hold down the minimize button for a bit to put two full-screen apps next to each other)

3. Sublime Text 3, full-screened.

4. Dash (doc app) full-screened and placed split-view with another full-screened Chrome window.

Basically automates the windows I would setup manually every time I reboot and want to code.

Over in Windows land, I used AutoHotkey for years for all sorts of things, so Hammerspoon is comfortable for me.
