You plunge the tip in and then, instead of freehanding it, you follow around the edge of the box with the special drywall bit, resulting in a perfectly fit hole with practically no measuring. It is quick and fast and so much better than the old measure and cut before hanging method. Sure, it makes a mess, but this is already a construction site and nothing a vacuum can't fix. And yeah, it's noisy, but again, this is a construction site, so wear some muffs.
But if you want to a put a new outlet in your old pre-existing living room, then by all means skip this tool and use a knife, saw, or oscillating tool. That's not what this tool is really intended for.

I imagine if you're a drywall pro there's probably a good application for these, but I wasn't able to find it .
Oddly enough, I really like these with a wood bit; as a jigsaw/router replacement. (For cutting, not routing!) Once you get the hang of it, it's a lot cleaner cut than a jigsaw, and less waste and sawdust than a router for intricate cuts, especially circles and rounding corners with a template.
But yes - this is not the tool for straight lines! (Aside from following framing.)

Cons: Noisy, requires battery, more dust (due to vibration), can do straight lines but requires practice

That said - it's a very different animal than an oscillating tool. The oscillating can only do straight-ish lines, while these can cut any curves you can imagine.
