They are.

I agree with you.

I mostly agree with you. Doesn't change the fact, that IF you are in the 
situation that you have a program without a reasonable command line 
interfacem and IF you need to process some data in an automated fashion 
which can't be done from the GUI, then there is room for a "GUI 
automation" tool or whatever you call it.

Don't get it wrong, we all like free software and sane APIs and a Python 
binding to the mowing robot. Still, sometimes you just need to get the 
job done and it doesn't matter how.
