#3See also https://github.com/bslatkin/dpxdt , a more featureful/complex implementation of the same idea. It also has some discussion of why you'd want to do this.

It's an automated testing tool so you can compare the site to a bunch of screenshots you know are correct and see if anything is wrong.

I think the value is in scale. We're currently working on a very large product site (not eCommerce) that has thousands of products and thousands of related content entities. QAing that is a nightmare, but once you get through the base pass, imagine rolling out changes. Being able to run this over thousands of pages, seeing the potential changes over time, will be hugely useful.

This is extremely useful if you are trying to build a responsive site. Imagine you have to test 10 different screen resolutions... even using an extension the process would probably take up to a minute where as this is just running a command. Now imagine the process repeated X times...
