I don't plan on getting it because I don't do animation, but it looks awesomely useful for that. You could make any sort of machine work, you could do real waves, you could have realistic gravity on falling objects, launch projectiles in parabolic arcs, make ropes swing and sag realistically etc. If it includes some randomisation functions, you could probably make groups of props move as though they were in a wirlwinds or an avalanch or something. Of course, you have to know your physics to use it to its full potential. If I did much animation, I'd grab it like a shot. In still images, I guess you could use it to make arranging body parts or props in particular patterns fast and easy, but I can't think of too many still picture applications. To me it looks like a great tool for the serious animator.
