*laugh* Well all you really need to know is that it finds design pattern instances in your source code, regardless of your OO language, and does so even if the design patterns weren't explicitly put in there - if you happened to make one through good design principles, it'll find it. Or, if you have a design pattern instance that's hidden and scattered throughout your code, but it acts just like that design pattern should, it'll find it.
It makes documenting systems much easier, and training new developers much faster. It also give some really good clues as to refactoring plans, if you want to make hidden design patterns more explicit, for instance.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make it *work*...
