Balsamiq helps cross-functional product teams focus on usability and navigation of a product or website and leave visual treatment discussions to a later stage. It is a great tool for Product Managers in start-ups where there isn't a full crew complement of UI designers, UI engineers, and HCI experts for the PM to leverage. Within a few hours of downloading the tool, I was able to mock up around two dozen user interfaces, export them to pngs and share with my geographically distributed team. It helped make the requirements review I conducted over the phone quite collaborative. I echo your sentiment, Scott. It is a great tool.

Mockups was always designed as a tool to let non-technical stakeholders participate in the wireframing / information architecture phase of a website and software project, so I'm really glad it's working out for you and your team.
