I was exceptionally skeptical about it, but it's been very useful for me and I'm only using it for minor tasks, like automatically writing loops to pull out data from arrays, merge them, sort information, make cURL calls and process data, etc. Simply leading the horse to water is enough in something like PHP: // instantiate cURL event from API URL, POST vars to it using key as variable name, store output in JSON array and pretty print to screen Usually results in code that is 95-100% of the way done.
