Much less frustrating — maybe, but not always economically feasible.
In case with some (actually, a lot of) projects, people who can code will have to spend 100% of their time coding features. Tools Selenium IDE strive to offer a 'good enough' solution for cases when you're trying to automate the work of manual testers or have less technical members of your team involved into UI testing. And tools like Screenster turn 'good enough' into a working solution.
Visual regression testing is, imho, another case for tools like Screenster (http://bit.ly/2kXEEFV), even though I know that, technically, you have some of this functionality with Protractor (http://bit.ly/2kune0t).
