As a homeowner this is probably faster, albeit dustier, and you are less likely to mess up an entire sheet because you measured wrong. But homeowners also are usually not going for production speed like a construction crew is. If you're ok taking some extra time measuring this is an ok tool to skip. If your weekend project seconds are precious, sure grab it. I think its a good tool to buy only if you have a specific project and sell it when it's done. I.e., I rebuilt / reframed our forever home, which involved drywalling an entire house, sold it when done, and haven't missed it since.
Those thinking of using this for non-drywall: don't. Without getting into it, it would do a terrible job in most scenarios you could think of. Its just a really really specific built tool in alot of ways.

You hang the drywall right over the openings and electrical boxes, then just plunge in with this tool and follow around the box for a perfect cut every time with little to no measuring.

I have also been known to use my skill saw on everything including drywall while demo'ing a project.

So I'm staying old school with a simple outlet cutout template like this [amazon.com] put it on the outlet, push the drywall into place,
lower it again & use a keyhole saw. 5 min? minimal dust. Though these use to be metal & dirt cheap. no more.
Yah, I should just measure twice & cut once.

An oscillating tool and box saw are the way to go.
