A common task is to grab all of the registered MAC addresses from the switch, which this utility does. Then take MAC addresses for ports without a description and cross them with DHCP, to get the current computer name that is registered to the MAC address. This feature would not be beneficial to net admins that have a constant changing environment, unless they want to peek at what is connected. However in managed environments or a network where you are trying to gather information it would be tremendously useful. We manually do this to reclaim copper that is not used in our managed environment.
