There are many pro that simply use a hawk, tape reel, and their favorite knife.
The tape reel adds an extra hand at that stage and when I first learned to use a hawk I was impressed at the number of sneaky places the pro could find to jam in the corner of his hawk to hold it while he set a screw that was left too high.
The automated tools I've seen seem more for really large projects, like a builder putting up 100 homes. The guy with the bazooka just went from one house to the next, that was his specialty.
