--- Is it a utility fit for consumption or is it just a research
project???

It is still a research project, without claiming to be a utility fit for
consumption

--- is Sikuli for end users, IT users, IT users supporting end users or
what???

Sikuli has two totally different aspects:
1. the IDE, which aims at end users, that have average knowledges how to run GUI applications and are willing to dive a little into (Python) scripting.
2. the Sikuli features (represented by the Python and Java API in sikuli-script.jar), that can be used and integrated in any Java capable environment.

Any people doing more than just playing around, building some nice and
easy everyday support tools or game bots will sooner or later decide to
leave the Sikuli IDE behind and develop using their favorite IDE's
(Eclipse, Netbeans, ...) and use the Jython, Jruby, Groovy, Scala... or
Java environment accessing Sikuli's  Java API.

--- What I want to be able to do is automate some GUI tasks for a group
of users

If this is what you want to do and you have some programming knowledge
(seems to be: Any program I write has extensive logging, and if it
terminated unexpectedly information about its termination would be
logged.), I recommend, to use the IDE only personally for some quick and
dirty testing and/or the image capturing.

Just look at Sikuli as an API that you can use in your programs, you
developed, before getting aware of Sikuli.

Base your distributable apps on sikuli-script.jar and use either Java or
one of the Java capable scripting languages mentioned above. On the
target machines you "only" need Java, sikuli-script-jar, Sikuli's native
libraries, your script interpreter and some environment settings. Your
app should be packed in a .jar.

Your users will never get in touch with Sikuli IDE, since it is not
there and you are free to implement every support for "users who have
very basic computer skills".
