In my mind, these tools are most powerful when used by the manual
testers.  It allows for a stimulus to be consistently applied to all inputs in
the application the same way every time.  No human has the stamina for
that on a large app :).

That said, the commercial tools I've evaluated are all lacking in
important features.  I think it's still an immature market with plenty
of room for new players who have good ideas.
