I've been on many projects and often the project manager thinks they need 
squish, but in the end it just doesn't have any positive impact on the product 
or the quality.
The most recent project I was on for almost a year had a whole testing team 
and they have tried to get our Qt app to be tested using squish, this is a 
project that followed very specific UI specifications so its a dream to have the 
squish kind of testing for it.
In the end it was hardly used for mostly technical reasons, and we never got 
to a point where we had a positive report of a regression. And we certainly 
had regressions ;)  The tool just never found them.

Its not squish itself thats a problem per sé, its the concept of testing the 
way the application looks which is broken by design.  I think it would be good 
to avoid spending resources on this.
