Max,
I have used global/group editing for things such as:
1. Assigning a new tax zone -- for example, when we started selling in Canada, we needed to assign all products to the new Canadian tax zone(s). This took seconds with group editing.
2. I added a custom feature that excluded some items from coupons. I was able to search for the items and in one list, select (check) all the items that I wanted to exclude from coupons, use group editing and all the items now had the attribute.
3. Assigning membership -- when we built our loyalty program, I needed to quickly assign some items and exclude others... group editing was the perfect way to accomplish this.
I have used the group editing feature many times to solve global issues.
Yes, it is a powerful tool, and in the right hands, can accomplish things in seconds that would otherwise require an export/edit/import (as opposed to, "select all, checkbox, save")
I hope this helps explain why this function is valued by admins.
