Automating GUI applications requires interal access to the program through some kind of interface and, ideally, decent documention of the interface, something that is missing from many, if not most, GUIs. Anything else relies on ugly and, generally fragile, mechanisms to intercept the programs output and send event triggers to the application.
I've been doing the 'anything else...' stuff for years now without issue, so ugly, yes, but fragile, not really.
