I have the strat version and practice with it a lot. I agree that you still have to spend time (muscle memory, practice, training, etc.) ... nothing will change that; however, at 50 years old this works for me in several areas:
- easy to transpose tabs, etc right to the fretboard ... I see right where to put my fingers
- when using guitar pro, you can focus on a lick and start with a very slow tempo and gradually speed it up automatically
- the videos, lessons, improve tool all have greatly increased my learning pace

for me it removes mental frustration ... I still have to deal with the frustration of my fingers not going where I want them, but that's practice.
