I use it mostly for automating repetitive actions that cannot be otherwise automated with bespoke scripts. A simple example is I needed to test drawing 255 selections on a screen. So I just wrote a couple loops to automate drawing tons of triangles while I was eating lunch. But I've written ones that process tons of files in an application and go through all the sub dialogs to see if they were functional.

It is a nice tool for this because it works on anything you can see (and some things you can't) so if the software can be used then you can automate it. Sometimes you have to fall back on the image recognition sledge hammer but there is always a way out.
