There's an implied dichotomy in this article between "manual testers" and "testers who know how to program" which is unnecessary, in my opinion. There's a whole spectrum of technical skill that's being ignored. All software testers are using computers to do their work, and they are all using tools to make them more effective.
I think this tool sounds really interesting and would allow a tester to generate lots of interesting tests. It could conceivably also speed them up, which is great, and it could allow for automated regression testing of touch features, which is also great. That doesn't really mean anything with regard to who is using the tool. You don't have to become a full-time developer to learn to use Selenium for tasks where it makes sense, and I assume that this tool is the same way. If it's not, then a collaboration between somebody who has those automation skills and the "manual testers" could still create a wrapper that allows the testers to use the tool effectively.
