My experience is that UI automation tools differentiate themselves by the kinds of interfaces they interact with rather than whether they facilitate "basic" testing or complicated testing.
I think you will have a hard time finding a single tool that covers both native applications (what you called "locally installed GUI front-ends") as well as web ...

According to the Quick start guide the principle method used in generating the test code is CheckView(). Which compares two png screenshots of a screen a before and after then throws an exception if there are any differences. In the background it does this with some unit testing code:

I agree with Aniket, this kind of exhaustive UI test is not worth it. Another thing to consider:
Awhile back, I inherited a manual test case plan from someone who left the company. He had been doing things like checking the list sorting behavior in every area of the app. He wasn't a programmer and didn't understand that the code behind the dropdown box for ...
