I think well designed and maintained submission software will bring you better submissions than average hand submitter (most of hand submitters don't read the rules each time and they can miss something or make mistake). Regularly update software like chameleon won't let you to submit invalid category, content type/size, it will place correct recip.
I't not really only about filling-in fields. It is just 5% of the work you need to do. There is no reason to force webmaster to hold all (good) link lists including their rules in head, pick appropriate LLs for created site, manually create pages with recips, upload them and type each form's field item by item.
This way there is many places where he can make a mistake and it is unnecessary drudgery. Is your site's traffic worth to spend half day to submit to your site?
I bet 99% of webmasters (excluding some newbies and masochists) are using some automation in submission process.
